First Impressions 2013 is the second of our annual student exhibition at View Art Gallery.

Each year we invite students from schools and colleges in the South West to submit work to our panel of judges. The criteria for selection is to reflect the values we have as a commerical gallery; the art aims to be of good technical quality and have aesthetic appeal, but above all it has high impact, either in its narrative or application.

This catalogue showcases the shortlist of work selected by the judging panel and the work that will be exhibited during the show.

The winner of the 2013 prize will be announced at the private view on Thursday August 29.

Thank you to all the students, teachers, parents, curators and administrators for supporting this special exhibition.

I am continually impressed by the artistic talent in the South West region. I hope that View Art Gallery can help provide students with an insight into the workings of a commercial gallery and support them in taking their first step on the journey to becoming a professional artist.
