Recall celebrates the art work from some of UCLan’s pioneering art graduates – in a course which saw its first graduates don the cap and gown in 1977.

Work includes sculptures by Andy Goldsworthy OBE who studied at what was then Preston Polytechnic until 1978.

Curated by Theresa Taylor and Judith Trescatheric the exhibition features 27 artists who graduated between 1977 and 1981.

Theresa said: “We’ve talked about this reunion exhibition for the last 20 years so it’s exciting to see it all come together. Many of the graduates have kept in touch over the years and as soon as we suggested the idea we suddenly had a large group of artists.

“I worked as an art therapist and psychotherapist for 33 years before I them came back to UCLan to do a Masters in Fine Art in 2015.

“It was strange coming back after all this time aged 56 with much more life experience it was nice to come back and focus on that again.”
