Work from artists who hail from the same school in a village near Lincoln will be on show at an exhibition in the city.
The collection at the Sam Scorer gallery is the work of freelance artists, recently left and current students from William Farr C of E Academy in Welton.
Work exhibited includes paintings, textile based sculpture, experimental fashion, illustrations, ceramics, jewellery, digital printing and felt work.
Among the artists showing their work will be:
Freelance artists – Sally Lidgett, Rebecca Boulter, Rebekah Lockley, Caroline Woodward, Katie Wood, James Sutton, Hannah Van Bergen and Rachel Olin, an Art Technician at the school.
Students that left last year – Emily Bridgwood, Alex Hilton, Allicia Pritchard and Amy Tillery
Students in their final year – Megan Burton, Sophie Dolling, Hannah Jones, Laura Marshall, Eleanor Mason, Tomilola Rhoda Ola-Said, Eleanor Price, Marguerite Sherry and Daniel Valentine
This is the second year current and former William Farr pupils have staged an exhibition at the Drury Lane gallery.
Last year the school organised a show of photographic work at the gallery called William Farr Photography: Past and Present 2003-2014.
All of the artwork at this year’s event, which runs from July 21 to August 2, will be available for sale.
Work, such as this from Katie, will be on display at the Sam Scorer gallery until August 2
One of the freelance artists whose work will be on display is 21-year-old jewellery maker Katie Wood, a final year student at Nottingham Trent University.
She said: “It’s fantastic to be able to show my work alongside the many talented artists that have, and still are, emerging from William Farr.
“It says a lot about the school that it has nurtured so much talent over the last few years and I’m honoured to be included in the exhibition.”
Headteacher Andy Stones added: “It’s really exciting to see such a wealth of talent on show and to know it has all been inspired while at the school makes it particularly special.
“We work hard to ignite, nurture and feed the creative spirit at William Farr and the fact that this is the second year we have run an exhibition of this quality shows our efforts are making a difference.”

A large fire that saw plumes of smoke fill the air in Bardney over the weekend is being treated as arson, police have confirmed today.
Lincolnshire Police were called to reports of a large number of tyres and vehicles on fire in Station Road at about 6.10pm on Sunday, May 15.
The fire service worked through the night to contain the blaze, and fortunately there have been no reported injuries.
Firefighters were at the scene overnight.
A police spokesperson said: “We believe that the fire was started deliberately, and we are currently reviewing evidence in relation to a suspected arson.
“We are currently at the scene, and we are not able to comment on the extent of fire damage until their investigations are concluded.”
At the height of the blaze, Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue had eight engines at the scene, but this has since been scaled down to one.
Emergency repairs to the A16 near Crowland have been completed just over 48 hours after the road had to be closed due to a dramatic lorry fire that melted the surface.
Lincolnshire County Council’s highways department was forced to close the A16 south of Crowland on Friday, following a lorry catching fire the day before on the road.
The temperatures from the blaze were so high the road surface melted, with various materials from the lorry itself welding to the road as a result of the heat.

It happened across both sides of the road, within metres of a busy roundabout, though thankfully no casualties were reported.
The road was closed over the weekend to allow for emergency repair works, and after 48 hours of intense, frantic action, it is now open again thanks to a rapid response.
The ruined road surface was removed and the damaged sides were rebuilt, with an entire new top layer of the A16 laid down, treated and painted in just one weekend.
It means the road was closed for just over 48 hours, as the road reopened to the publicly 10pm on Sunday.

Councillor Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “What a great effort by everyone involved to get this section of damaged road up and running.
“The damage to the road surface was so intense that smaller repairs were out of the question and a full resurface of the road was the only option we had.
“We worked extremely hard to get this road stripped back and rebuilt as quickly as possible and the results can be seen for themselves.
“I want to thank everyone involved in this swift repair and I also want to thank all road users for their patience whilst we carried out the work in a very short timeframe.”
