The value of art in schools cannot be underestimated. It supports imagination and confidence while encouraging young people to think differently and make their own unique mark in the world. ArtHouse Jersey’s education programme nurtures the creative development of young people in the Island, placing value and importance on art in the classroom, helping to contribute to the development of a happy, healthy and culturally engaged society.
Paper Worlds is an exhibition created by Jersey’s school children across all ages, using paper as their core creative material. The project took inspiration from the work of Layla May Arthur, a Jersey born paper artist who handcrafts every detail of her intricate sculptures and installations. Exploring paper as a key material encouraged educators to be innovative in their teaching with simple supplies.
As part of our Making Art Partnerships in Schools project, eight professional artists were commissioned to work in partnership with local schools during 2024, to share skills, knowledge and a passion for the visual arts in various classrooms across Jersey. This exhibition is the culmination of the collaborative journey between artist and educator. It celebrates the diverse creative artwork made by many young people.
On display will be a selection of work including photography, mixed media sculpture, weavings, painting, analogue, animation, printmaking, illustrations and collage, with most pieces having paper at their heart. The projects include elements of both individual experimentation and collaboration.
Tickets/Booking: Free entry, no booking required.
