Irish Degree Shows 2016

Here we go, I Like Local's annual Irish degree show listings! Things are kicking off a little earlier this year in order to make sure spring shows like Burren College of Art and IADT's technology showcase are included, but keep your eyes peeled on this post as degree show season continues. I will update it as I get more information on shows all over the country, so what's starting off as 14 listings is bound to grow and grow... Is your show one of the missing ones? Then tell me! You can reach me by email or on Twitter. So without further ado, here is your guide to finding new Irish design talent this year. Let's go!

Irish Degree Shows 2015

Here it is, your guide to Ireland's art, design, fashion and architecture degree shows in 2015! More than 20 shows across the country, north and south of the border, are listed below with more to come as I find them. They are listed by county (kicking off with Dublin, as it's the one with the most shows and the biggest audience) and wherever a county has more than one show, they're listed by date so you can see what you need to get to first. You can start planning your summer now...

London Degree Shows 2015

Welcome to the 2015 degree show season! Here I Like Local brings you a regularly updated list of London art, design and architecture shows so that those of you based in or near the UK capital can find the best new cool dudes in town. I will be updating this list as I get more information on shows so check back often to find out what's opening when and where. Irish readers, I will have your list up SOON. Enjoy!

London MA Shows, Autumn 2014

In keeping with some of the most popular posts on I Like Local this summer, here's one last degree show listing. There is a small number of masters shows coming up here in London this month and next that I thought I would list. I have updated the overall London Degree Shows post but thought I would post them here too so they don't get lost amid all the other shows that were listed earlier in the summer. Enjoy!

Irish Degree Shows 2014

The dates just keep on coming... Here you go Irish readers: 25 degree shows, catwalk shows and symposia all over the country, both sides of the border, all for your delectation. Most occur in either May or June and are listed geographically (but with Dublin first as it's got the most shows and most likely the biggest audience). Within each geographical area I've listed shows in order of when they occur, so that you know which ones to get to first. Make sense? Is your show missing? Tell me via email or Twitter and I'll add it posthaste. Not spending degree show season in Ireland? Here are the Scottish dates and London dates. Enjoy!

Scottish Degree Shows 2014

Continuing with tradition (or insanity), here's a fairly comprehensive list of art, design and architecture degree shows happening across Scotland this summer. If you're spending the summer down south like me, here's a list of London Degree Shows, while Irish readers stay tuned: your shows are coming soon. If your show isn't here, then tell me via email or Twitter and I'll gladly include it. Enjoy!

London Degree Shows 2014

Holy shit you guys, I have listed OVER FIFTY art, design and architecture degree shows going on around London this summer. Kicking off this week, running right through the summer and into September (with a few TBCs in there for good measure), this is as comprehensive a guide to London creative graduate shows as I can muster. I've listed them in order of when they're opening, so hopefully that's useful when planning where to hit when. Is your show missing? Email me or tweet me and I'll include it! People of Scotland and Ireland, your listings will land in the next couple of weeks following their popularity last year. People of Wales and the rest of England, soz, I'm wrecked. Maybe next year. Without further ado...

Degree Show Dates for your Diary

This is a busy time of year as final year art, design and architecture students mount their work and art and architecture schools open their doors for their annual degree shows. Here's a list of dates and locations of final year shows both in Ireland and Scotland for those of you keen to see work from the newest entrants to the creative industries. It's as exhaustive a list as I can come up with, but if your show isn't here, drop me a line and I'll add it. Unfortunately I've put this list together too late for a couple of shows (apologies to those of you looking to see shows in Ballyfermot, Athlone and Duncan of Jordanstone in Dundee...) but most of the schools in Ireland and Scotland are covered. Thanks to James Benedict Brown for providing some of the architecture dates (you'll find his pretty comprehensive list of architecture shows in the UK and Ireland here), while Creative Review's rundown of art and design shows in the UK may also help you plan your degree show trips. Enjoy!
