This exhibition is part of Hull Maritime’s ‘Young Maritime Creatives’ project. The project launched in May 2023 and has given grants to eight secondary schools across Hull to support students to create an artistic response to Hull’s maritime story.


As well as producing their own artworks, the students have had the opportunity to explore maritime objects and heritage sites, meet with maritime communities to learn about their experiences, and visit Ferens Art Gallery to explore how exhibitions are made.


The eight schools involved in the Young Maritime Creatives project are: The Boulevard Academy, Sirius Academy West, Sirius Academy North, Trinity House Academy, Frederick Holmes School, The Hub School, Venn Boulevard Centre, and Kelvin Hall School.
