Alumni Exhibition

We are very excited to announce our inaugural Alumni exhibition, opening Thursday March 6th at 6pm in the Trapezium Gallery. Members of the Alumni Association have been given the opportunity to submit works for the show, and we're very keen to see what they've been up to since completing their studies with us. Please join us at the Trapezium Gallery for the opening, where light refreshments will be served. You'll have an opportunity to chat with many of the artists, and perhaps purchase an original artwork or two for a bargain price. See the invitation below for details.
