About the show

Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design’s Masters Show is a dynamic showcase of innovation, creativity and critical thinking, offering our graduating Master's students the opportunity to present the culmination of a transformative year of intensive research, experimentation, and skill-based practice.

This year, explore the work of almost 90 students graduating from MSc Animation & VFX, MFA Curatorial Practice, MDes Communication Design, MSc Design for Business, MFA Fine Art, MRes Fine Art, MSc Medical Art, MSc Product Design and MSc Spatial Planning with Sustainable Urban Design.

The show will be open to the public from Saturday 22 until Sunday 30 August, with a ticketed preview event on Friday 21 August for invited guests, family and friends.

Alongside Masters Show will be the opportunity see a selection of diverse work in progress from our current cohort of PhD students.

We look forward to welcoming you to Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design to see the work of our exceptional graduates, celebrate their achievements and wish them all the very best for the future!
