Snapped: Curo Art Space Launch

Wednesday the 12th of November saw Curo launch the Curo Art Space, with an exhibition of artwork by children at St Michaels Junior School in Twerton, Bath on the theme ?what home means to me?. TGtB was there to enjoy the delightful works on display...

"What does home mean to you?" That’s the question children from St Michael’s Junior School in Bath have answered through a series of models, pictures and poems on display at the new Arts Space exhibition launched by Curo on Housing Day.

Victor da Cunha, CEO of Curo said: “As part of national Housing Day, we wanted to highlight the importance of having a safe and secure home, so we asked the pupils of St Michael’s Junior School to create a model, poem or drawing showing what home means to them. 

“We received a lot of brilliant entries and have had a difficult job choosing just 32 to display. Thanks to everyone who took part and told, through art and words, such powerful stories about our homes - the most important place in all our lives.” 

Each pupil whose work is exhibited received a certificate from Victor da Cunha. First prize was awarded to pupil McKenzie Clark for his model house, complete with cut-outs of mum, dad and Timzy the cat. 

Special mention also goes to five pupils who received Highly Commended awards: 

• Elle May Windridge
• Layla Price
• Geneve Purayil
• Joe Samios and
• Daniel Samios

The exhibition is currently running at The Maltings, River Place, Lower Bristol Road, Bath BA2 1EP
