Non-Academic Shows are student-led exhibitions in Campus Spaces: applications are now open for ArtLounge & Battersea Mezzanine Exhibitions.

In this area

Each year the Students' Union runs a series of Non-Academic Shows! These are exhibitions of student work, curated by students, on campus. The shows are not part of any academic programme, but they support students to get hands-on experience curating and presenting their work, allow you to meet and work with students from across the college, and play a key role in making this place feel like the vibrant, creative art school that it is.

The Students' Union supports up to 8 shows per year. The shows bring little-used college spaces to life, and offer extracurricular curatorial and/or exhibition opportunities to students across the college. Shows are incredibly well received by staff, students and visitors alike. In 2023, we we had over a thousand visitors to the first four shows.

We also host ArtLounge and Battersea Mezzanine Exhbitions. These are smaller than the Non Academic Shows, and do not offer the opportunity to open to the public. However, they offer you experience and a space to exhbit your work for the benefit of other students and staff.
