London Grads Show 2020
2020 has brought with it huge amounts of stress, grief and upset for us all, but one group that it’s hit hugely is students. Just as restaurants, shops and businesses were forced to shut up shop, so were universities, with lectures and seminars entering the virtual world.
It’s hard reimagining the stress of dissertation deadlines, let alone having to endure the deadlines and live through a pandemic… So why not raise a toast to the students who graduated this summer and explore the wonderful works from some of London’s leading art universities at the London Grads Show 2020.
Graduation shows may have been cancelled but the Saatchi Gallery have opened up their doors to invite students to showcase their artistic achievements with an exhibition.
An inspiring exhibition from the up and coming talents of 2020.
Running Thursday 3rd – Friday 25th September
