Students have helped organise an exhibition to pay homage to a north-east sporting icon.
Gray’s School of Art and North East Scotland College (Nescol) have teamed up to organise and promote a display of Denis Law memorabilia.
The Boy Who Would Be King exhibition, which features work from both sets of students, is currently on display at the Sir Ian Wood building at RGU’s Garthdee campus.
The display was commissioned by the Denis Law Legacy Trust to mark the 10th anniversary of Streetsport, which has established a series of community pitches around the city.
Cameron Craddock is both co-founder of Streetsport and course director for communication design at Gray’s.
Last night, he said: “The Streetsport delivery model has benefited a significant number of RGU students who have furthered their development through a wide variety of creative learning experiences and collaborative activities.
“This exhibition again demonstrates the local association with our course and Nescol and the value of external collaboration as a mechanism for developing undergraduate skills and knowledge.
“We are grateful for the ongoing support of the Denis Law Legacy Trust.”
Cal Docherty and Graeme MacDonald are communication design students at Gray’s and helped create posters for the exhibition.
There are also photographs from Nescol students who have been documenting the construction of the Cruyff Court – a multi-use community sports facility – at Catherine Court.
Earlier this week, the Press and Journal revealed that three north-east coaches had become accredited under the world-renowned Cruyff training scheme.
