Art buyers looking to take a chance on tomorrow’s big names will find a wealth of choice. Over 200 students in subjects from animation to architecture will exhibit works to shock, inspire, delight and challenge their audience at the public exhibition which runs from 13 - 20 June.
The Matthew and Crawford buildings on Perth Road are set to become a warren of surprises with the students using every corner to show around a thousand exhibits including textiles, animations, ceramics, jewellery, painting and electronic imagery. Most exhibits will be for sale.
Describing an early tour of this year’s show as ‘absolutely terrific’, Dean of the Faculty Bill Barr said : ‘This year’s exhibition promises to be better than ever. Our students have won a record number of national awards and we also have more students exhibiting across all the disciplines.’
