PETER POTTER GALLERY: EXHIBITION NOW ON

Published: 14 May 2011

The Art Department were highly excited to be working with artist Gemma Coyle in association with the Peter Potter Gallery in Haddington.

Two S2 classes worked with Gemma to produce an animation which is now on show at the gallery until 11 June 2011 as part of their 'Art and Landscape' exhibition. S4 pupils have also been given the opportunity to exhibit their work in the gallery, and their work can be seen in the space just outside the cafe area on the first floor.

We would like to say a big thank you to Gemma and all of the staff at the Peter Potter Gallery, as well as a huge well done to all of the talented S2 and S4 pupils who took part!
