NCAD Graduate Exhibition 2018
Students graduating from the National College of Art & Design this year will exhibit their work at the College’s annual Graduate Exhibition, which runs from Saturday, 9th June until Sunday, 17th June
The NCAD Graduate Exhibition 2018 features the work of graduates from across NCAD’s four Schools of Fine Art, Design, Education and Visual Culture, together with postgraduates from the MFA in Fine Art, MFA in Digital Art and MFA Design programmes. In addition, a selection of work in progress is on display by postgraduates in the MA Interaction Design and MSc Medical Device Design.
The exhibition presents an opportunity for the leading artists, designers and educators of the future to showcase their creative abilities as they launch their professional careers. It’s also an opportunity for potential collectors, employers and innovators to spot the latest talent, and for curious members of the public to see the newest trends in design and art.

NEW ART AND DESIGN: NEW RESPONSES
A roundtable discussion on NCAD’s Graduate Exhibition 2018
Wed 13 June, 5.45pm – 7.15pm
NCAD’s Graduate Exhibition 2018 offers more opportunities to see new ideas about art and design than any other exhibition in Ireland. But what do the exhibits tell us about emerging trends? What are the obsessions and interests of a new generation of artists and designers? And what impact will they have on the world?
Students on the Visual Culture BA programme have invited critics and commentators to respond to the works on display in the Graduate Exhibition 2018. In an open roundtable discussion, Kerry Guinan, Deborah Madden and Eoghan McIntyre will share their thoughts on the works on display and what they tell us about the world in which we live.
No need to book. Refreshments will be served.
Room 203, Second Floor Harry Clarke House. The route will be signposted from the entrance on Thomas Street.
