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.
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 programme enriches our creative community, turning campus spaces into lively hubs of artistic exchange and experimentation.

Emerging from Arts SU’s research into the often-intimidating experiences of critique culture at UAL, Crits Hub seeks to reclaim this process as a supportive space for artistic development by reimagining feedback sharing practices.
Traditional critiques can often feel like a “firing squad,” which disproportionately impacts student well-being and reinforces power imbalances. Crits Hub challenges this perspective, viewing critiques instead as a collaborative testing ground for new ideas. By proposing an alternative, horizontal approach to feedback, critiques can become safer and more accessible spaces for experimentation and authentic dialogue.
Students are invited to book this space and make use of the resource library, learning materials and ‘Crit Kit’ zine: a student-made pocket-sized guide proposing frameworks and methodologies towards diversifying the crit and accommodating a variety of learning styles. These tools can be used to design critique sessions that are bespoke to the unique needs of each peer-learning group.
It is hoped that by offering a dynamic and responsive peer-learning space, Crit Hub will encourage an institutional shift in how critique is practised at UAL. It envisions a compassionate crit culture rooted in equity, where lived experience is valued and individual voices are celebrated.
