<p>Students aged 16-19 from our UAL Extended Diploma in Art &amp; Design programmes have transformed Palace Court's open-plan studios into a lively gallery space, showcasing art, fashion, design and digital media.</p> <p>Visitors can enjoy a diverse collection of cross-collaborative artwork, conceptual thinking and impressive technique, as students on the pre-degree courses celebrate the culmination of two years of intensive experimentation and personal development.<br /><br /></p>
“For these young professionals this exhibition is the crowning triumph of a two year, intense, exciting experience in which they develop not just amazing technical skills but the personal character to put these skills into action in their future careers.”
— Matias Shortcook, Associate Dean of Pre-degree
<p>Mixed media artwork on display includes installation, photography, sculpture, garment construction, printmaking, web graphics and more, as a new generation of artists, designers and makers take the bold leap into undergraduate study and commercial success.</p>
