A FREE arts show that takes over Bournemouth’s Lower Gardens has opened its 10th anniversary show.

Every spring Fine Arts students from The Arts University College of Bournemouth put their skills on display.

This year’s theme is ‘Benchmark’ and there are 19 different works on display for people to enjoy, with an information point in front of the Bandstand.

They include a flamboyant display by a woman dressed as a snail, a length of knitted material floating in the stream, and disposable cameras hanging from trees.

Senior lecturer Simon Granell said: “Year upon year I am impressed by the students’ ingenuity.”

The exhibition opened on April 27 and concludes Monday, May 7.
