Various Courses, Gray’s School of Art
Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen want to show just how resilient their class of 2020 have become over the last few months. To do this, they’ve curated and built a virtual degree show spanning photography, communication design, contemporary art, painting, fashion and textiles design and three dimensional design. Kicking off with a club night opening, the work will be on display throughout July.

BA Fashion Design, Textiles and Communications, Middlesex University
Middlesex University has encouraged their fashion students to establish their personal design identity with this fully immersive virtual exhibition.
We advise you put some time aside, as once you’re on the site – it’s difficult to pull yourself away. You can customise pages with your own name and dress models as you’re scrolling, whilst also experimenting with type. It’s as much about the user experience as it is the work.

BA Illustration, UAL Camberwell College of Art
Second year students at Camberwell have curated a degree show entitled Gen Z. Exploring what it means to be a part of Generation Z is only one part of the agenda. In an attempt to educate and help others during this difficult time, the students have created a range of resources – ensuring all proceeds go towards Southwark Foodbank.

BA Design, Goldsmiths University
Hey Look, Something is Happening is a degree show focused on the standstill of life in the midst of the global pandemic.
