We are excited to announce the dates of the Prep & Senior Art exhibition, a selection of pupil work will be on display in the gallery from 7 - 30 June 2015.

Year 9 pupils at Brighton College Abu Dhabi have been busy painting the swimming pool area. Last week we introduced a wave motif designed by one of the pupils. Keep your eye on this area over the rest of the term to see what they do next with their ideas.

We are looking forward to the next pupil exhibition at Brighton College Abu Dhabi!

The Nomadic Dolls exhibition is on at Zayed University (Academic City) until 20 November. Check out the exciting work on display at ISEA 2014, including customised Nomadic Dolls by three pupils and three staff at Brighton College Abu Dhabi.

There were some (very well behaved) wild animals in the Art room today making 3D work. It's great to see so many of the Prep pupils supporting the Hosn House charity.
