Hours: Monday–Friday 9am–5pm
Taking place across the Lauriston campus in Edinburgh, the show comprises a major exhibition alongside a programme of events, including the Performance Costume Show and Fashion Show, concerts, and animation and film screenings.
Bringing together a wide range of disciplines and approaches, the exhibition reflects contemporary creative practice in dialogue with an evolving cultural, social, and environmental landscape. Through installations, performances, screenings, and live events, students engage with material, process, and form across expanded fields of practice.
The Graduate Show marks a point of transition as students move into careers across creative and intellectual fields. It provides insight into the ideas and perspectives shaping contemporary creative discourse and practice.
Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) offers programmes across art, design, history of art, music, architecture and landscape architecture, and is recognised for its interdisciplinary and research-led approach to creative education.
