RCA Graduation Show 2017
From June 25 to July 2, graduates from the RCA in London will be putting their best foot forward in this year’s highly anticipated graduation show.
One of the highlights on the circuit of art and design school graduation shows is always the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London. With its extensive range of disciplines, from vehicle design and innovation, through traditional design disciplines such as products, textiles and jewellery, to fine art and critical writing, the diversity of output is always a treat.
Open from June 25 to July 2 at the Battersea and Kensington campuses, this year also sees the first time the architecture department will show offsite and the second that the fashion show repurposes an alternative venue. Visitors will discover the best in emerging research and practice, formal advancements and new modes of expression from the school’s MA, MPhil and PhD students. Here’s a sneak preview to whet your appetite.
