Wells Art Contemporary has announced that three students from The Blue School in Wells will join the team as interns to help with mounting the 2024 art exhibition.

Each of them intends to pursue a career in the art world and WAC will offer them some extremely useful hands-on experience.

The WAC exhibition, which is on show in Wells Cathedral during August, receives about 4000 entries from over 30 countries. A selection of these is chosen for the final show. There is a Gallery exhibition of work displayed on white boards in the Cloisters, and an Installation exhibition of site-specific works displayed in the body of the cathedral and in the spaces outside.

Chair of Wells Art Contemporary, Paddy O'Hagan, said: "We are delighted to welcome our three interns to be part of WAC '24. It is a wonderful opportunity for them to be part of an international art exhibition and to get to know what goes on behind the scenes to make it happen.

"Every year WAC attracts more attention in the art world and this year is no exception with some really great artists taking part.

"We are very grateful to Wells Cathedral for allowing us to use the exceptional spaces of the cathedral, and to our wonderful volunteers who make it all possible."

WAC 2024 will run every day from 3-31 August 2024 in Wells Cathedral.
