THAT network London is proud to present a virtual summer exhibition of art students’ exceptional artwork from GCSE, A level and KS3 students from across fourteen schools in Tower Hamlets. The exhibition showcases work produced during an unprecedented year of blended learning. At a time when the world fell silent and the streets emptied, we went online and learned in different ways.

We normally hold a physical exhibition of our students’ work but this year, like so many events, we have gone online and entered the virtual world. This is a great opportunity to explore and celebrate the creative output of Tower Hamlets students, who have managed to make some stunning work and rise to the challenge of working in unusual, difficult, and stressful times and conditions, showing the power of art and the necessity of creative outlets. Go to the exhibition website to be amazed, come away inspired.

Over the course of a month, various workshops exploring interdisciplinary approaches and creative disruptions will be delivered by our partners and a selection of artists for students in our schools.
