Burt Brill & Cardens’ Graduate Show is the social event of the Brighton Cultural Calendar. Ten to fifteen thousand visitors view more than one thousand pieces of work by up to five hundred graduating students from the Faculty of Arts and Architecture.
It’s the place to see the freshest ideas in fine arts, three dimensional design, photography, fashion, architecture, dance, theatre, digital music, illustration, graphics and includes coursework on the history of art and visual culture. Displayed on four vast floors of gallery space, it will be impossible not to find, and even purchase, a masterpiece.
The University of Brighton prides itself on being one of the hottest beds of talent outside of London. We can name-drop a truly impressive list of ex-graduates. Including Turner Prize winners’ Rachel Whiteread and Keith Tyson, and the controversial artist Alison Lapper, whose pregnant figure is the subject for Mark Quinn’s sculpture, which is to be displayed in Trafalgar Square.
For the period of the Burt Brill & Cardens’ Graduate Show the Grand Parade site of the University of Brighton will become the largest gallery space in the South East. And thanks to the nine consecutive years of sponsorship from leading Brighton solicitors Burt Brill & Cardens the event is a must on every talent spotter’s calendar. This support has enabled the professional staging of the ever-popular events like the fashion show and student awards.
The notoriously relaxed atmosphere continues in the Faculty’s garden where refreshments are served alongside lunchtime live music and DJs from the faculty’s state-of-the-art Digital Music department, and a Sunday afternoon barbecue with family entertainment.
The Burt Brill & Cardens’ Graduate Show is the perfect opportunity to discover the future talent of the art scene before the rest of the world finds out.
Burt Brill & Cardens’ Graduate Show is FREE.
