Students showcase their artwork along A14

Special needs students at Cambridge Regional College are showcasing their artistic talents in an unusual location – in compounds along the A14.

Their art, created in response to road redevelopment works, has been displayed on large screens in offices along the A14, providing a colourful inspiration for staff working on the project.

The students, part of the Skills Matrix Expressive Art group at the college, created their paintings on the theme of ‘blue sky and…’, imagining them posted on the boarded-up windows of the WW2 pillbox at Girton interchange.

“I was impressed with what they did,” said their art teacher, Peter Stockton.

The results impressed Highways England too, enough to want to show them in their offices along the A14.

“We’re very grateful to Highways England for providing such a great way to showcase the artwork.” he said.

“The students created their artwork to show some of their feelings about the beauty of nature as a response to the A14 roadworks and it is wonderful to see it brightening up the office for staff working on the project,” he said.
