One of UK’s largest graduate art, design and fashion show opens on 10th June and will continue through 18th July. Centered in the creative hub of East London, this exhibit showcases a wide range of work produced by up-and-coming artists in the UK area.

Free Range is now in it’s 16th year of featuring new work from young and creative artists. The show gears to attract a range of UK universities and art colleges to provide emerging artists a platform to display their work. This helps take each artist’s work to the next level of promotion and show.

Over the course of the five weeks there will be be more than 3,000 exhibits from 50 universities. The Old Truman Brewery arts and media quarter will house these exhibits now expanded over its three storeys to offer the exhibition a large and diverse space. Old Truman Brewery is a hive for creative businesses including independent shops, galleries, markets, bars and restaurants. The ten-acre site will offer a diverse space for the exhibition to display all of the artwork.

A new addition to the exhibition this year is the introduction of weekly ‘Best in Show’ awards. A panel of judges including industry experts and Free Range partners will examine the different works. These awards will help celebrate and reward artists ranging from photography to fine art.

Each week during the exhibition will feature a different medium of art. Different weeks include illustration, design, art, photography, architecture and interior design.
