Solihull visual arts learners commended at annual exhibition

ARTISTS at Solihull Sixth Form College celebrated a year of hard work by exhibiting their artwork at the annual 2026 Visual Arts Exhibition.

A private viewing took place in June with friends, family and staff invited to get a first glimpse at the portfolios of work created for our A level and BTEC Art and Design courses.

The artwork included paintings, drawings, sculpture, graphics, photography and fashion design pieces.

Curriculum Leader Zoe Maksymiw said: “It took three weeks to hang the artwork for the exhibition and we are all delighted with how it has turned out.

“Our young people have worked incredibly hard this year and produced some fantastic pieces of artwork. I am so proud of them and our staff for their dedication and talent.”

Awards were also handed out at the Exhibition, including a star of the department prize for the student who has shown the greatest overall attitude and commitment – that award went to Year 13 Photography student Emily Dallaway.




Independent Learner prizes were also handed out for each course and these went to Paige Connor for Fine Art, Tasnime Arbi for Graphics and 3D Design, Jaimee Greaves in Photography and Grace Quinton studying BTEC Art and Design Practice.
