There are still a few days left to visit this year’s Foundation Diploma in Art and Design Summer Show 2015. Featuring work from a wide range of Art, Design and Communication pathways the exhibition will be open until Friday 15 May, 5pm.

If you are heading to Camberwell to visit the exhibition there are plenty of local places to relax, grab a coffee or a bite to eat. We asked the 2015 Foundation students to give us a rundown of their favourite places.
