Inspirational pupils are at the 'art' of an exhibition showcasing the wealth of creative talent in East Dunbartonshire schools.

Class Acts 2017 is an annual exhibition at the Lillie Art Gallery which features a range of drawings, prints, paintings, photography, fashion, 3D art and architectural design.

It is a unique opportunity for pupils' work to be viewed in a professional environment and for students from different schools to see other Higher and Advanced Higher folios.

The current exhibition displays around 250-300 pieces of art from pupils at secondary schools across East Dunbartonshire - including:

  • Bearsden Academy
  • Bishopbriggs Academy
  • Boclair Academy
  • Douglas Academy
  • Kirkintilloch High
  • Lenzie Academy
  • Turnbull High.

Class Acts 2017 is on show at the Lillie Art Gallery in Milngavie until Thursday 20 April.

A successful opening event was held recently to launch the exhibition, with up to 100 pupils, parents and local people in attendance.

Mark Grant, General Manager of East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture Trust, said, "Well done to everyone who contributed to Class Act 2017.

"The quality of the art and design on show has been phenomenal and I would encourage as many people as possible to visit the Lillie Art Gallery and see for themselves before 20 April.

"East Dunbartonshire has a wealth of talented and creative young artists, and we're delighted to help showcase their works."
