Case Studies
Since 2013, a number of students have benefited from experiences within the gallery, from setting up their own events to undertaking research projects!
In 2018, Carola D’Ambrosio undertook the placement, where she gained the chance to plan and deliver an exhibition for Fathers Day. Carola reflected:
“Everyone gets something different out of the work experience, depending on their needs and abilities. Putting on the show was a huge responsibility but also so much fun. It was intense, and I put 100% of myself into it. I kept working from home and made a selection that the director really liked. I learnt a lot.”
