Join us for the opening night of Movers and Quakers, a new exhibition celebrating Friends' School alumni who have gone on to study and practise in the fine arts.

Bringing together artists working across painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography and contemporary practice, the exhibition showcases the diverse creative paths that began in the Friends Art Department. Rather than a retrospective of school work, this is a celebration of where those foundations have led - highlighting the importance of arts education in nurturing thoughtful, creative global citizens. Curated by Hamish Hall.
