GALLERY: Jenny Hall with her sculpture ‘Woman and Child’.
A NEW art gallery created by Darwen Aldridge Community Academy has been officially opened.
A group of sixth formers used a £35,000 Youth Opportunities scheme grant to refurbish a vacant shop, in Market Street.
Named Dart – a combination of Darwen and art – the ground floor is being used as a gallery, where students can sell their artwork, and the first floor will be used as a teaching area where the public and school children can learn crafts.
As part of their A-level course, the students will help run the shop and take a commission on anything sold.
