UCA Farnham Student Success BA (Hons) Fine Art Year 1 - London Exhibition

Throughout this year BA (Hons) Fine Art students in year one have been developing their practice and talking part in a range of studio and Farnham campus exhibitions. These experiences have challenged them and also strengthened their critical and technical ability.

Year 1 students confidently worked together to locate, organise and curate their external end of year exhibition in London at 100 Years Gallery in Hoxton, East London. The supportive and competitive expectation that the creative environment at UCA Farnham Fine Art provides is one of the reasons that UCA was named at the highest ranking creative arts university in the UK by the Complete University Guide.
