A Whole New World Exhibition

‘A Whole New World’ was an exhibition created by the Year 5 children of Pixmore Junior School and Garden City Academy. After completing the project in the summer term 2022, the exhibition featured in the Family Arts Studio at Broadway Gallery. During the project, students collaborated with artists to create colourful sculptures representing their ideas of a new place of their own creation. The artists involved included Kerry Lanigan, Alex McIntyre and Abigail Hunt.

The two groups took inspiration from Ebenezer Howard’s work to plan and develop the Garden City. Particularly interested in his vision for better living conditions and a fairer society, students made worlds in which plentiful outdoor spaces meant they could congregate to play, skate, and be calm surrounded by natural beauty. The worlds full of magic and fantasy also reflected the needs of children after the pandemic.
