Your one-stop guide to graduate exhibitions

We've only just realised that we've been tardy in delivering a calendar of events for graduate exhibitions that are taking place this year. Excuse us!

The list below is not a comprehensive list, and if you're a graduating student and your exhibition isn't listed, do let us know details by leaving a comment. We'll be visiting these graduate shows to scout out talent for our Fresh! exhibition this year, hopefully we'll see you at some of them!
