Fellow student, Kate Hornby said staff and students will be on the ground at the 'pop-up', offering unique insights into the work that's got into the project.
"Students and staff are available during the exhibition to answer questions about the work and the course, so it’s a great opportunity for us also to interact with the public, and to speak to them about our artwork.

Paul Taylor, course lecturer for the UAL Foundation Diploma in Art & Design at Carlisle College said: "After working virtually for two years it's great to actually have a physical exhibition that's open to the public, to remind the students, and also ourselves, that the work they create belongs in the wider world with an audience.
