The schools, colleges and academies were all asked to choose pieces of work that best represented their student’s artistic talents.

The Norman Plastow Gallery is designed to provide a unique and versatile exhibition space for amateur and professional artists, schools and colleges to display their original artistic works. It forms part of the Wimbledon Village Hall Trust facilities and is an important part of its charitable activities.
In line with the Trust’s aim to encourage local schools and colleges to make use of the gallery, I am very pleased to inform you that we have developed an arts initiative to facilitate this aim.
This exciting new initiative takes the form of an award scheme entitled YWA, which stands for Young Wimbledon Artists. We feel it is really important that students from our local schools and colleges in Merton and individual young artists or groups of young artists have an opportunity to exhibit their work within a gallery environment. Our aim is to put on regular curated exhibitions funded by the gallery and Trust, and open to the public so they can view the work produced by our Young Wimbledon Artists.
These exhibitions will become annual art event and it is our hope that they form an important part of your school or college’s academic calendar. The first of these will be a Summer Show to be held in July 15-27 with a private view to which all exhibitors their parents and teachers will be invited. The artistic works exhibited in this show will be in response to a competition set for Key Stage 3, A2 and A Level students with the theme Wonders of Wimbledon.
