Vivid Memories

Monday - Saturday (10am - 4pm)

Vivid memories is a dynamic and eclectic exhibition of visual arts spanning the two main galleries of the Queen’s Hall curated by staff and students from Queen Elizabeth High School. The artists are showing their work made for their A-level studies last year and this, some have already started creative courses and careers in Newcastle College and in art schools across the UK.

The exhibition title is derived from two 2024 subject titles set by the exam board, together they refer to the extraordinary formative and creative experiences that have inspired the students’ work on show. We all have vivid memories of our teenage years and at a time when society is questioning the influences on our younger people, exhibition visitors can connect with the striking images created, reflecting on the young artists’ viewpoints and our own memories represented on the walls of the Queen’s Hall galleries.
