What is the opportunity? 

Looking to showcase your work or try your hand at curating? Join Arts SU's Student Exhibition Programme! This is your chance to transform our Project Spaces into exciting exhibitions, share your creativity with the whole UAL community, and develop your practice outside of your academic studies. 

We are looking for proposals from students across UAL, so whether you're interested in exhibiting or organising, you'll get hands on experience in putting together shows while connecting with creative peers from different courses and disciplines. No formal exhibition experience needed – just bring your ideas and enthusiasm! 

The three spaces we have to offer students are situated at Camberwell College of Art (Peckham Road), Central Saint Martins and London College of Communication. 

The Arts SU recognises that for many students, this will be the first time presenting work or accessing an exhibition space. To empower students to make the most of the spaces the Arts SU will supply inductions and learning resources to give students the confidence and skills they need to help realise their projects. We will also provide technician and curatorial support, some financial support, a private view and professional development opportunities. 

Who are we looking to support? 

This opportunity is for current UAL students across all courses and colleges. Any UAL student is welcome to apply to any of the three spaces, you do not need to be a student at the college of the space you are applying to. 

We welcome solo or group shows, installation ideas, performances, research-led projects, screenings, workshop proposals and events. The project proposal does not need to be fully formed, we welcome works in progress and experimental ideas. 

So! To our students, take over and own your gallery spaces. These are your spaces, and we cannot wait to see what you do with them! 

The Project Spaces: 

Central Saint Martins, Kings Cross | Floor Plan 

Camberwell, Peckham Road | Floor Plan
