2022 art and design degree show guide

We’ve put together a list of UK undergraduate art and design showcases taking place this summer across a mixture of virtual and physical formats

After several years of disruption to live events, in-person degree shows are back in full force across the UK. For many universities and colleges, it is the first time they have been able to display graduating students’ work in a physical setting since 2019.

We’ve assembled a guide to UK undergraduate shows taking place in the next few months, with dates where available. Most of these involve a physical showcase and some have continued the hybrid format that emerged last year, so we recommend checking the links for specific details.

There are more shows yet to be confirmed so we’ll be updating this list on a rolling basis. If your BA degree show or one you know of isn’t listed, please let us know through social media or email a member of the editorial team so we can add it in.
