The nice folks over at Jotta got in touch via GSA VisCom Blog to let us know about their Degree Show Directory.
Worth submitting your show to if it’s not already on there.

Also found another one over at British University Artists.

(via the #degreeshows tag on Twitter.)

The more exposure the better when it comes to Degree Shows.

If you frequent any pubs near an art school, over the next month

you’ll most likely be sidestepping some poor paint splattered zombies

who are going through a self-absorbed personal ‘hell’ which seems

of the utmost importance to themselves and which no-one else

can quite understand. They don’t have any reserves of time, energy

or money left, but somehow, although completely spent, they’ll be

cadging one last pint before staggering back to the studio for an all-nighter.

Yes, you have to hand it to art school tutors, unsung heroes of the

degree show hour – buy them a drink, somebody.

So, assuming we won’t hear from many of them, it’s down to

the students to get on with it, shout about themselves and provide

a bit of support for each other into the bargain.

This year Central Station will again be promoting, featuring and discussing

the events, shows, students, and their work. We’ll have a few exclusive

previews too, alongside great content from a-n’s ‘Degrees Unedited’,

which reviews shows and interviews graduates across the UK.

So, now is the time to tell us what you’re doing – showcase your finest portfolio pieces, blog updates on your ridiculously
complicated installation, your hopes and fears, shout outs for support and
sponsorship, even a mention of your helpers and tutors.

If you’re on Twitter, join in the discussion with CenSta

and a-n with the #degreeshows tag. Good luck everyone.

Degrees unedited push

I think its amazing how social media can take a hold of such a season in the Arts calendar. Degree shows are now easily advertised, broadly visited in their diversification and reviewed easier by the growing body of journalistic busy-minded busybodies!! Great stuff in marking out new talent on an annual basis and hopefully there’ll be an increase in new-er media being notified through online presence.

Since around 2005 Degrees unedited with http://www.a-n.co.uk has been supporting the critical context of degree show season through a platform for review as well as one of the first blogging communities to hit the web, designed especially for the student voice. We have students stretching their virtual thoughts from all over the UK and beyond so, talking of diversification… there’s voices from universities and colleges in London, Wales, Devon, the midlands reaching up to Northern England into Scotland.

This group on Central Station is great, it’s pulling in so much more interest! Degrees unedited (i.e.Richard Taylor) is happy therefore and would like to say thank you to the drive of Central Station!!!

If any more of you are visiting degree shows make sure you get on Twitter and either use #degreeshows hash tag or #degreeshow hash tag to recommend your pick of student work. a-n Magazine is pulling from your interest to get a student image on the cover or featured in the summer issue…
