FALMOUTH UNIVERSITY DEGREE SHOWS 2014
Spread over multiple sites in the South West and London, the
Falmouth University Degree Shows are an opportunity to preview
the finest emerging creative talent in the areas of art, design, media,
performance and writing.
Taking place from 12 May – 23 July, over 1,000 graduating students
will descend upon venues as varied as multi-storey car parks and
former police stations in a programme bursting with exhibitions,
shows, performances and events.
Falmouth alumni are regularly featured at international institutions,
from New York’s MOMA to London’s National Portrait Gallery. In
the last year alone former students have secured nominations and
wins for the Turner Prize, Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize,
Threadneedle Prize and Carnegie Medal.
Throughout their studies, students are encouraged to produce
distinctive practices in preparation for working in the creative
industries or for postgraduate education. A fresh, forward-thinking and
entrepreneurial spirit is woven through the courses and will be evident
in this year’s shows.
