Scottish first for degree show

Scotland's first art college degree show of the year will get underway at the University on May 17th.

Students from all disciplines, including Fine Art, Animation, Architecture, Illustration, Jewellery, Textile Design and Interactive Media Design will show their work as they prepare to graduate from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design and the School of Architecture.

Exhibitions will also be included from Time Based Art, Graphic Design, Interior and Environmental Design and Innovative Product Design.

The show, which runs until 24 May, takes place throughout the two buildings and fourteen floors that form Duncan of Jordanstone, with every spare space exhibiting art. The show, the first of the season, attracts thousands of visitors to the University and is seen as a great springboard for emerging artists.

Duncan of Jordanstone has a reputation as one of the most exciting art schools in the UK and many of its students go on to be world renowned artists.

Dean of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Professor Georgina Follett, said this year's show would once again stand as one of the "cultural highlights of the arts calendar."

"The annual degree show at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design showcases the amazing level of talent and creativity of our graduates from the Schools of Design, Fine Art, Television and Architecture," said Professor Follett.
