Face to Face Two exhibition at Hornsey Library this month

The Face to Face Two exhibition will be held at Hornsey Library’s Original Gallery as part of the Crouch End Festival, and will run from June 12 to 18. It features the creative talents of artists from Crouch End Open Studios alongside A-level art students from Highgate Wood School.

Last year, the exhibition partnered with Coleridge Primary School students for its inaugural edition.

Sue Davidson, organiser of the event, said: "Crouch End is lucky to be home to so many talented artists.

"Following the huge success of the recent Crouch End Open Studios art trail, around 20 artists will be showing their work alongside art students from Highgate Wood School.

"What is brilliant about this is the useful skills that they can share with the students about curating and hanging an exhibition and everything else involved.

"The themes this year are wide ranging from the family, portraiture, the environment and architecture. It’s going to be fantastic and we’d love people to come along and see it."

The exhibition will showcase around 50 works of art.

Students will gain hands-on experience working with professional artists to help set up the display, offering them practical insight into the curation process.

Katharina Zwicky, head of art at Highgate Wood School, said: "We are very excited to be part of the Crouch End Festival this year and proud to be able to showcase the artwork by our students alongside established artists, hopefully helping them see the progression and opportunities this line of study can lead to."

Face to Face Two is open Monday to Friday from 1pm to 6pm, Saturday from 10am to 5pm, and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm. The exhibition will be held at the Original Gallery, Hornsey Library, Haringey Park, N8 9JA.
