Arts Council
Welcome to our Arts Council page! We are a group of Art enthusiasts, driving our passion through school! Every year we visit an exhibition and come back to Bretherton with an exciting project in mind for inspiring our peers.
Our 2021/2022 Arts Council visited the immersive Van Gogh experience at Media City and recreated the interactive sunflower room in our hall with over 200 artificial sunflowers and mirrors. We added music and sweet scents to offer a full 4D sensory experience.
Our 2022/2023 Arts Council attended the Art of Banksy exhibition in Salford and commissioned a Banksy of our own, compiled by every pupil, in our playground. Banksy is a favourite of the Arts Council for using art to raise awareness of injustice and discrimination in the world. See our blogs for more information.
Our 2023/2024 Arts Council went to watch the Diversity dance troupe live at the Lowry in Manchester and also visited Bank Hall, a local Jacobean mansion, for a special tour and chance to sketch the building itself.
Our 2024/2025 Arts Council led our incredible Arts Week in May 2025, setting up an interactive exhibition in the Hall. They also visited Bishop Rawstorne High School to participate in Art lessons alongside Year 7 pupils.
Our 2025/2026 Arts Council visited the David Hockney light experience at Factory International during December 2025. Later in the year the went to the sold-out Banksy Exhibition in Manchester, which helped inspire our Year 6 Art topic of Rebels!
