The works exhibited showcased some very different approaches and were came in a variety of scales and media, such as painting, drawing, mixed-media and casting.
This was a great opportunity for artists to network with like-minded creatives and meet potential collaborators and clients. The UAL Russian Alumni group is looking forward to new events!
