UU Connects are delighted to announce submissions are now open for Belfast School of Art's Alumni Digital Exhibition!
Digital Art Exhibition
This year, the Belfast School of Art have reached a remarkable milestone - 2024 marks it's 175th anniversary! A full programme of events is planned throughout the year to celebrate the 175th Anniversary, which is based on the theme of Celebrating Past, Present and Future.
As part of the 175th celebrations, Textile Art, Design and Fashion are hosting a Digital Exhibition to showcase the vibrant contributions of our talented graduates to textile art, design and fashion culture and industry. Our wonderful alumni are intertwined with our history, as well as our present and future, and we want to highlight that throughout our celebrations.
