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. Buying at the shows also gives you the priceless feel–good factor of supporting young artists starting out.
Visiting over 100 shows, Sarah will scout for the most exciting emerging artists to showcase on on the website.
If you don’t have the time to schlep across the UK to scout for emerging art talent yourself, then keep an eye on the new work section on the website and sign up to receive our newsletters – we regularly send information out about exciting new artists 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.
