  • September Art Exhibition Opening Night Invitation

    Thu 04 Sep 2025

    Our Art Department have organised an interschool art exhibition at Rugby Art Gallery, bringing together a range of student artwork from Harris and nine other schools across Rugby. 

     

    The opening night will be held on Tuesday 9th September from 4.00–5.00pm in the Floor One Gallery at Rugby Library (opposite Asda in town). It would be lovely if you could join us to support our students and their families, as well as visitors from the other schools. 

     

    If you can’t make the opening, the exhibition will continue to run until Thursday 19th September, so there will be plenty of time to drop in and enjoy the work on display.

    A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible organisations and individuals who made this event such a memorable and inspiring experience for our students. Your support and enthusiasm truly brought STEM to life!
