Art and Design Summer Show 2023

Art & Design Summer Show 2023

Buckinghamshire New University’s annual Art & Design Summer Show will be open to the public from 16 June - 21 June 2023.

Please join us to celebrate the creativity, award-winning talent, innovation and individuality of our final year Art & Design students by visiting our free exhibition at our High Wycombe campus. The show is a great opportunity to see the calibre of work our students produce and to meet the next generation of talent.

The exhibition will be in W6, W7 and on the first floor of Timberlake. Please arrive at our High Wycombe Reception where our Student Ambassadors will be ready to accompany you to the show. It is also an opportunity for you to see our AA2A artists showcase their work in progress as part of the exhibition.

We look forward to seeing you!

I’m incredibly proud that BNU continues to host our annual Summer Show in physical form, as it represents not just a culmination of all the hard work our students have put into their creative practice (and the unwavering support their tutors have dedicated to them), it is also an amazing celebration of their achievement and well-deserved success!

Meet the designer of this year's show

Megan Hughes

Every year a student is selected to design the artwork and graphics for the annual Summer Show. This year, we're delighted to put the spotlight on Megan Hughes, a third year BA (Hons) Graphic Design student, and soon to be graduate.

Megan's final major project takes inspiration from brutalist art and design and explores how it can be partnered with vibrant, floral imagery to create a blend of juxtaposing textures, and ambiences. As a multi-disciplinary creative with a particular interest in how typography can be utilised within editorial design, Megan wanted this to be a focus within her work.
