An initiative of the Marlborough Youth Council and a partnership between the public art gallery, colleges and Marlborough District Council; Folio is the first exhibition of its kind since 2013. It’s a showcase of outstanding NCEA folio artwork by Marlborough college students from Queen Charlotte College, Picton, and Marlborough Boys and Marlborough Girls Colleges, Blenheim. A range of NCEA fine art subjects feature in this exhibition. This is a brilliant opportunity to see a presentation of work that represents weeks of effort for formal NCEA assessment, in a format that that is rarely seen by the public.
