Degree Show Tour 2016


The degree shows are the perfect place to discover fabulous original art by talented emerging artists and though not widely attended they are open to the general public. The degree shows are a culmination of art students work over the course of their degrees and as the artists are right at the start of their careers their prices will never be so low.

Visiting over 100 shows, Sarah will scout for the most exciting emerging artists to showcase on the website. Keep an eye on the new work section on the website to see new up and coming new artists work listed as they are discovered and sign up to receive our newsletters – we regularly send out information about exciting new artists as they are discovered.

A list of UK degree shows can be found below:

If you know of a degree show that you would like to be listed here –  leave a comment below or email us (info@newbloodart.com) and we will include your show on our list.
