POP art and sculptures are among the creative pieces on show at Cleethorpes Discovery Centre as part of the Youth Arts Festival.

The exhibition runs until Monday and includes work by Whitgift School pupils and youngsters from the local Youth Offending Team.

Andy Warhol-inspired pieces – from the famous Campbell's Tomato Soup image to pop art apples – are hung on the walls for the public to enjoy.

Caroline Moorby, assistant arts development officer for North East Lincolnshire Council, said: "On show we have the Year 11 pupils GCSE work from Whitgift, their final pieces are great.

"It's about showcasing what the youngsters have been doing all year.

"The work by the youth offending team was created by teenagers aged 13 to 19 and all of it looks fantastic.

"A lot of these kids have so much creativity inside them but they have never been given the chance to show it.

"Hopefully some of them will even go on to college and university to study art."
