We’re now in the last stretch of degree show season after an incredibly busy time of final-year exhibitions across the UK.
Since the first shows opened back in May we’ve been reporting on the work of graduating students over at the a-n Instagram as well as on a-n News and at our dedicated degree shows site, www.a-n.co.uk/degree-shows, which features listings for shows at both BA and MA level.
And of course the a-n Degree Shows Guide 2018 provides more insight and commentary on degree show time, including an interview with Ryan Gander and the thoughts of 11 final-year students.
Here we highlight the final flurry of shows for 2018.
