New Resources for Islay High School Art Department
We are delighted to share that the Art Department at Islay High School has successfully received a £300 grant from Book Relief UK to diversify and update our Art & Design Resource Library.
Thanks to this funding, we have now purchased a fantastic selection of contemporary, image-rich art and design books to bring fresh inspiration into our studio.
The new resources broaden the range of artists, designers and visual cultures represented, including women artists, artists of colour, and practitioners from non-Western and global traditions.
A huge thank you to Book Relief UK for supporting this project and helping us provide our young artists with valuable, inspiring resources. We can’t wait to see these books being explored and used in the studio!
