A new exhibition starts at Dimbola Lodge this weekend, entitled Out of the Box.

The photographic exhibition is a collaboration between students at Medina High School and St George’s Special Needs School.

The theme of the exhibition celebrates creativity, encouraging the students to think ‘outside of the box’ and exploring the processes of the Camera Obscura.

It runs until the 11th April and more details can be found on Events on the Wight.

If you missed our regular Thursday lunchtime slot on IW Radio yesterday, worry not, as you can listen again below.

It was that time of the week again when we head up to the IW Radio studios to have a chinwag with mid-morning show DJ, Tom Stroud.

With a bumper number of events on the Isle of Wight over the weekend, there was lots to get through but we started with details about arty events.

One thing we always love going to are Graduate Shows from Universities. It’s a great place to get a sneak preview of the burgeoning artistic talent.

Starting today at Dimbola Lodge is an exhibition of degree work from the 2009 graduate honours degree students from the Faculty of Art and Design at Southampton Solent University.

If you have any interest in The Arts, these kind of exhibitions are alway worth checking out.
