OPEN STUDIOS 2021

OPEN STUDIOS is a great opportunity for our Fine Art community to come together and share some of the incredible work taking place in the department.
If you have not been involved before this is when we tidy up ALL of the studios (UG and MFA) and you present work in progress in your studio space. This year it also coincides with the second week of the Year 4 Interim shows that take place in the all bookable spaces – so lots of exciting stuff happening everywhere in the building.
