dot-art Schools

dot-art in partnership with Edge Hill University are thrilled to announce the opening of the dot-art Schools Winning Artists 2024 display, showcasing the incredible talent of young artists from across the Liverpool City Region. Thanks to a partnership with Liverpool ONE this exciting outdoor exhibition will be on view from Thursday, 24th October in School Lane, Liverpool ONE. 

Donna Howitt, Place Strategy Director at Liverpool ONE, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to once again join forces with the dot-art Schools Programme to showcase the artistic skills of local young people. 

“Working with communities across Liverpool City Region is a core part of what we do at Liverpool ONE and, once again, we have been blown away by the amazing talent that is right on our doorstep. We’re confident that our visitors will enjoy these creative artworks.” 

Over 90 schools participated in the dot-art Schools programme this year, fostering creativity and artistic expression among students. Over 1500 students’ art entries were shortlisted by a panel of judges, followed by an online public vote to be chosen as their schools’ winner to win a place in the 12th annual exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery in June. 

Families and art enthusiasts are encouraged to visit this new stunning display at Liverpool ONE which features the winning artworks from each school created by year 5 and Year 9 students, as well as the overall winners and runners up in both age groups. 

Carolyn Murray, dot-art Schools Project Manager, explains: 

“We are delighted to partner with Liverpool ONE to showcase and celebrate these talented young artists right here in the heart of the city. This exhibition not only celebrates their achievements and highlights the importance of creativity in education but also encourages families and communities to engage with the arts. We hope to inspire even more schools to join us in 2025!”
