Welcome to Torch, the 2025 Holy Cross College art exhibition.

​

We strongly believe that galleries and exhibitions are vital cultural resources, and that exhibiting art work is a way to support and  encourage an exploration of our own, and societies, values. Torch is an extremely exciting opportunity for all our students to be able to display their work to the public.

​

Our Art Department is one of the largest and most successful in the college with some students studying multiple art subjects. Our core values are ideas, hard work and a deep passion for creativity. The belief that art is a life-affirming, life changing, teachable, learnable, intellectual and unbelievably exciting way to look at the world is central to our philosophy.

​

Not only is Torch a celebration of all the students' hard work and achievements, but it is also an opportunity for them to share their ideas with a much larger audience. We truly believe that this exhibition not only shines a light on the wonderful work our students have produced, but showcases how their forward thinking ideas can lead to a brighter future.

​

Many of our students are continuing with creative education in a university environment, which is really exciting for the staff in our department. However, all the students have embraced our ethos and immersed themselves in a creative community which we are all immensely proud of.
