Congratulations to our graduating MA students, whose outstanding work is exhibited in the MA Show, on until Saturday 10 September.
The MA ceremony took place on Monday 5 September, in a wonderful celebration of the students’ success and achievements, with students, staff, family, friends and supporters coming together.
Art School Principal, Dr Lois Rowe
The event was also the perfect opportunity to welcome the Art School’s new Principal, Dr Lois Rowe, who has taken up her post this week. Lois was able to meet many of the Art School’s friends, supporters and partners and is looking forward to meeting many more in the coming weeks and months.
Chair of the Board of Trustees, Jamie Bill
The opening address from the Chair of the Board of Trustees, Jamie Bill, was followed by the Graduands’ addresses, this year delivered by Bonnie Salter, MA Art & Material Histories; Nicola Shreeve, MA Conservation; and Simon Bejer, MA Fine Art. The graduands thanked their tutors and fellow students for their tremendous support and remarked on the rich diversity of ideas and experience nurtured at the Art School through its cross-disciplinary nature.
