Arts Fest 2022

Announcing Arts Fest debut! Organised in collaboration with festival partners including The Merrion Centre, Kirkgate Market, St John’s Centre, Victoria Gate and Victoria Quarter, the event offers students the opportunity to show their work in the public domain and learn about the challenges of exhibiting works outside of conventional environments. OK Comics are kindly displaying a small selection of illustrated and graphic novel student works, throughout the duration of the festival. Arts Fest 22 offers the public a unique cultural experience, as they encounter contemporary creative work in some of the city’s iconic shopping areas. The event showcases work by students across the University’s eight postgraduate courses, and includes the winners of the Anthony Earnshaw Prize, an annual bursary awarded to postgraduate students supported by artist Patrick Hughes. Arts Fest 22 launches on Thursday 16 June from 4–5:30pm in the event space at Kirkgate Market, and runs until Thursday 14 July.
