The 2012 MFA Fine Art Degree and Interim Show runs from August 25th to September 8th 2012, with the opening and Private View event on the evening of Friday 24th August, from 6pm till 8pm. All are invited to come to the opening.
The work of previous BA and MFA students can be viewed at FineArt Forum (external website).
The ambitious goal of all our students is to present themselves as professional artists and to test their ideas in the public arena. This aspiration to excel motivates them to work together as well-organised groups thoughout their final year arranging fundraising events such as the annual Postcard auction, sponsorship, publicity and an extremely well-attended opening night. Both the Undergraduate BA and Postgraduate MFA exhibitions are highly regarded events and are some of the most popular in Newcastle's exhibitions calendar.
The students take responsibility for the design and production of their own publicity material, producing catalogues, posters, invitations, press releases and web pages. These are available to be viewed at FineArt Forum (external website).
"What always impresses is the way that Fine Art licences individual research and expression, yet also breeds alertness to cultural shifts, contemporary issues, global concerns. This is not ivory tower art. It is stuff made in a vibrant city..."
Prof. Frances Spalding. BA Show catalogue introduction.
