Where to discover emerging artists this summer
Class of 2026 UK degree show calendar, plus the latest arts and culture news
It’s that time of year again. The graduating class of 2026 are putting the final touches to their degree show presentations and gently tussling over who gets the best studio space to present their work to the world.
Degree shows remain one of the best places to discover new artists early on. They are where gallerists, collectors and curators go to spot new talent before everyone else, and with a good eye, you can too.
We’ve put together our annual UK degree show calendar for the Class of 2026, mapping public opening dates across the country, with interactive links to further information on private views and opening times.
