The creative talents of seven fine art graduates from Leeds College of Art have been spotted by leading global provider of risk management services, Aon plc.
On 24 May 2016 there will be an awards evening and live auction of their work, which has been on exhibition at Aon’s headquarters in London for almost one year.
In August 2015 Aon launched their Community Art Award to coincide with the opening of their brand new global headquarters in the iconic Leadenhall building in the heart of London.
Aon’s Art Committee selected pieces of art work from Leeds College of Art and two other leading art schools (Glasgow and Manchester) to showcase in their client suite - viewed by clients, colleagues and visitors.
Josephine Wilson, Steven Ellis, Checka Levi Morenos, Harriet Galilee, Julie Kennedy, Danielle Whitaker, and Isabelle Gee from the College’s BA (Hons) Fine Art degree were all selected.

-
£5,000 Aon Community Art prize, judged by an independent panel, will be awarded to the most promising student.
- £2,000 colleague prize voted for by Aon employees.
