Buckinghamshire New University is gearing up for our annual Art & Design Summer Show from 14-15 June and 17-19 June.

The Show will feature work from third-year students studying a range of creative courses and organisers say it is ‘a great opportunity to see the calibre of work our students produce and to meet the next generation of talent’.

“It is a fantastic chance to see what we do and see the high quality of work students produce. We are excited to showcase all of the great work our students have created.”

BA (Hons) Fashion Design student Beth Jefferys is exhibiting a range of work inspired by famous architect Antoni Gaudí, including a colourful shirt/dress, dungaree dress, and boiler suit.

“I have been posting teasers of my work on Instagram and I am excited to show off the full collection at this year’s Show,” she said. “It is a great chance to display the work I am most proud of.”
