In celebration of 170 years of Leeds College of Art, former students were invited back to the College to a reunion party for alumni from 1970 – 2010.
Alumni were welcomed back to the College by Principal Simone Wonnacott, before curators Kerstin Doble and Mick Welbourn introduced the 2001 exhibition and artist and 2001 alumna Lucy Clout spoke to guests about her current practice.
The rest of the afternoon was spent reminiscing and chatting with old friends over food and drink, enjoying music by Andy Abbott’s Elizabeth, and tours of the historic Vernon Street building led by former head librarian Chris Graham.
