Students and staff from Varndean Sixth Form College have recently returned from an unforgettable Creative Arts trip to New York City. Everyone had a fantastic time exploring the city’s iconic cultural landmarks and artistic hubs.
Highlights of the trip included taking in the skyline, such as the Statue of Liberty from the Staten Island Ferry; soaking in world-class artwork at MoMA; exploring media history at the Museum of the Moving Image; getting inspired on a graffiti tour in Brooklyn; going behind the scenes on a Radio City Music Hall tour; the breathtaking views from the top of the Empire State Building; and experiencing the vibrant energy of Times Square. The group also paid a moving visit to the Ground Zero Memorial. An amazing live show on Broadway bought the memorable trip to a close.
The testimonials below are just a few examples of the fantastic feedback from the students:
“Easily the best school trip that I’ve been on, it’s impressive that we managed to see so many sights but still have time to just walk around and have fun without supervision. A perfect balance of the two.”
“My favourite part was being able to experience all the different parts of New York and having a lot of creative freedom with photography and art at the same time!”
“I loved spending time with so many lovely creative people – my favorite parts of the trip were looking out to the city from the top of the Empire State Building, and exploring Central Park with my friends.
Thank you to all involved!
