The University of the Arts London (UAL) is hosting an all-summer-long exhibition programme to highlight upcoming artists from London's dedicated colleges and institutions including Central Saint Martins and Camberwell College of Arts.
The UAL summer exhibition series offers a fantastic opportunity to discover up-and-coming artists, hone your critical eye and feed your cultural appetite in the warm summer days. This year, across fine art and design, students are exploring themes such as AI, identity and social justice. All of the shows are free and open to the public, just make sure to check out the UAL website for exhibition dates and timings.
