Tracks at Exeter Central Station April 15 November 2008 to 1 November 2009.

Spacex Gallery, Exeter has teamed up with the RSPB and First Great Western to celebrate our feathered friends in a new exhibition of children’s artwork to be displayed in nine poster cases at Exeter Central Station.

The work created by the children between 8 and 11 years old has been inspired by excursions to the Exe Estuary, the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum and has taken months to complete. As well as looking at our local birdlife, children taking part in the project have been researching birds from around the world, including Mexico, India and Iran. Led by artist Jenny Mellings, they have used a wide variety of techniques and materials ranging from Mexican oil cloth to pale clay to create this vibrant display.

Sponsored by First Great Western Trains and supported by Exeter City Council.
