Wednesday, 19 June, 2019 — From a packed-out fashion show to an empowering performance, check out some of our photos from the opening of ODYSSEY, our pre-degree Summer Show 2019.
<h5>Join the next generation of creative trailblazers from 15-21 June at ODYSSEY: Pre-degree Summer Show 2019.</h5>
<p><br /></p>
<p>We’ve opened up Palace Court, our dedicated Pre-degree campus for their annual Summer Show, running alongside the college-wide Degree Shows 2019.</p>
<p>Featuring art from the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming young creatives, the Pre-degree Summer Show is free and open to the public from 15 - 21 June. </p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Students aged 16-19 from our UAL Extended Diploma in Art & 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>
<p>The public opening on Friday 14 June saw a live fashion presentation from UAL Extended Diploma Fashion & Textiles students, offering an exclusive preview of this year’s pre-degree collections.</p>
