The Tower Art Show 2022

The Tower Art Show 2022 started Friday 3 June with 200 people attending the opening night in the beautiful Tower building. The guests were delighted with music from the Blue Suits, food, wine, speeches, and the beautiful display of student artwork, paintings, sculpture, and jewellery.
