The Winter Garden at East Surrey College came alive this week as it was transformed into a vibrant exhibition space for the Reigate School of Art End of Year Exhibition! Students showcased their artwork and final projects and were joined by friends, family, employers, alumni and members of the local community.
The event was a great opportunity to discover the amazing work delivered by our creative students and this year’s show also featured the ‘Student of the Year Awards’ which saw selected students acknowledged for their hard work and dedication to their course.

Jo Fenwick, Director of Learning (Reigate School of Art, Design & Media) commented:
“It has been fantastic to celebrate the culmination of the hard work this year, by students and staff of Reigate School of Art. It has been a very important event in terms of the entire process as a learning experience for our students coming out of the other side of the pandemic. It was plain to see the enjoyment and pride of our staff, students, their friends and families. I am extremely proud of what has been achieved, once again to a very high standard.”
The Reigate School of Art students develop their own style through a combination of industry-focused courses, excellent facilities and inspirational expert tutors covering a wide range of specialties.
RSA Alumni student Oscar said:
“I had a great experience during my studies at RSA and since gone onto university. I’ve now started my Photography career, so it was great to come back and see what the current students have been up to. Very impressive!!!”
The College offers a wide range of courses at a variety of levels from Part-Time Leisure to Full-Time all the way through to Degree level. These include Art, Crafts, Design, Creative Media, Film & TV, Photography, Games Design, Animation & 3D Modelling, Sound & Music, Fashion & Textiles, Theatrical Make-up, Jewellery, Floristry and much more!
Jo Fenwick added:
“We have dedicated our Exhibition this year to Moira Wills – a dearly loved friend, colleague and Art & Design Course Leader, who passed in March. Our Charity collection is therefore for Cancer Research UK & St Martlets Hospice. Her passion, energy, humour and joy of life is something we want to carry forward with us here in RSA.”
We’d like to say well done to all our staff and students for all the hard work they have done this year and for putting on an amazing event!
