On Saturday 31 August, Arts University Plymouth will be open from 10am until 1pm for a Postgraduate Open Day, which will include opportunities to see work from the MA Graduate Show and to speak to postgraduate academics and find out what it’s like to to study at the South West’s University of the Year (as ranked by students in the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2024). Come along to see work by graduating MA students, some of whom will be available to discuss their research and experience of the MA programmes. This is an ideal opportunity to explore a community of makers and thinkers, ask questions and visualise what it’s like to study at Arts University Plymouth.
Some highlights from this year’s MA Graduate Show that will feature in the exhibition include:
- MA Painting graduate Dr Paul Clark, a palliative care doctor who previously curated a collaborative exhibition at Torbay Hospital’s HeArts Gallery, delving into the interface between art and medical science.
- MA Fine Art graduate Jane Sharkey, a walking artist whose creative practice is shaped by social-engagement practice on Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel.
