Seamount College and KAVA Courthouse Gallery will present their annual student art exhibition, “Essence,” at the KAVA Courthouse Gallery, Kinvara, from Tuesday 24th February to Sunday 1st March, open daily from 10am to 4pm.
The exhibition will officially open on Tuesday evening at 7pm, and all are warmly invited to attend.
“Essence” showcases a diverse and compelling body of work created by the talented students of Seamount College. The exhibition features an exciting range of paintings, photography, ceramics, drawings, and stone-carved pieces, highlighting the creativity, technical skill, and personal vision of the young artists.
The title “Essence” reflects the deeply personal connection between art and the individual. Each piece represents the students’ exploration of identity, experience, and their interpretation of the world around them. Through their work, students capture the core ideas, emotions, and perspectives that define their creative voice.
This exhibition offers more than a display of artwork—it provides a valuable real-world learning experience. The exhibition will be fully student-run, with students taking responsibility for curating the show, installing and presenting their work, and managing the day-to-day running of the gallery throughout the week. They will welcome visitors, engage with primary and secondary school groups, and gain first-hand experience in communication, organisation, and arts management.
Seamount College’s annual exhibition continues to be a highlight of the local arts calendar, celebrating student achievement while strengthening links between the school and the wider Kinvara community.
Members of the public, families, neighbouring schools, and art enthusiasts are encouraged to attend and support these emerging young artists.
