Jade Brawley, third year BA art and design student from Menstrie, as well as second year student Marina McLaren from Alloa joined course mates at Forth Valley College's degree and diploma art exhibition.
The event went ahead at the college's Stirling Campus on Thursday, June 1, with the exhibition running for a week to offer members of the public, along with students and staff, the opportunity to see the next generation of artists emerging from the Creative Industries Department.
A wide range of media including art, design, photography, sculpture, installation, video and audio was on display, created by some 50 learners.

Kenny MacInnes, college principal, said: “This year’s end of year show was the first one fully back to normal since the show was curtailed due to the challenges of the lockdown.
“As always it was a fantastic opportunity for our students to showcase their work, which they have been creating over the last year.
“I am glad the public could come along and see for themselves the talent that Forth Valley College has developed a reputation for producing in this area.”
Prizes were presented on the opening night to students Lauren Tierney from Cumbernauld who won the Essay Prize and Alina Wojciechowska from Falkirk who won the Graduate Prize and an invitation to exhibit with the Society of Scottish Artists at their prestigious 131st annual exhibition in 2024.
