Join us at Future Yard as our Level 5 Illustration with Animation students showcase their latest work at their Art After Dark exhibition. Come along on Friday, 20th March, from 5pm to support our local talent and students. No need to book - just pop along to this free event.
Art After Dark is a town-wide celebration of Birkenhead’s growing creative scene, with exhibitions, workshops and talks happening throughout the evening across venues around Hamilton Square.
Wirral Met students Cady Davies, Cerys Firth and Atlas Struve will be sharing their current projects, including screening animations and installing a character design art piece on the front of Future Yard’s iconic windows. The characters created by Atlas reflect the diverse people who can be found at the music venue and who make Birkenhead so colourful and creative.
The trio spoke about their exhibition:
“As part of Art After Dark, we’re excited to share a selection of our work as three second-year Illustration with Animation students.
This exhibition brings together projects we’ve been developing, from character design to short animated pieces and visual storytelling. Our practices move between still and moving images, combining traditional methods with digital animation to explore how stories exist both on screen and on the page.
This show is a snapshot of where we are right now—experimenting, exploring and refining our skills and styles, pushing our ideas further. Each of us approaches narrative and image-making differently, but together our work reflects our shared interest and passion for our craft.
