We are delighted to present the second edition of our collaborative exhibition between Northbrook Collage and Rustington Museum, celebrating the creativity and innovation of graduating students from BA (Hons) Textiles, BA (Hons) Photography and BA (Hons) Illustration.

Building on the success of last year’s exhibition, this partnership continues to provide emerging artists and designers with the opportunity to exhibit their work in an accredited museum setting, often marking an important milestone as they begin to establish their professional practice.

The exhibition brings together a diverse collection of contemporary work, reflecting the distinctive approaches, ideas and creative voices developed across each course. From experimental textiles and material exploration to lens-based practice and visual storytelling, the exhibition celebrates the breadth of talent nurtured at Northbrook College’s creative campus through degrees awarded by the University of the Arts London (UAL).

Rustington Museum provides an inspiring public platform for these future creatives, connecting them with new audiences and celebrating the contribution that emerging artists and designers make to the cultural life of the local community. Together, Northbrook College and Rustington Museum remain committed to supporting the next generation of creative practitioners as they take the first steps in their professional careers.
