Our Undergraduate and MFA Fine Art Summer Show last month showcased the innovation and skill of our graduating students. The shows are a celebration of students' hard work and an opportunity for friends, family and the public to explore their creativity, expertise and passion.

They also marked the end of an exciting year for Wimbledon which has seen course collaborations with institutions including the National Gallery, the National Theatre and the Lyric Theatre, recognition for students and staff in national awards including The Golden Shears, the Jerwood/Film and Video Umbrella prize and The Woon Prize 2019 and brilliant results for our performance design and technologies courses in the National Student Survey.

To get a taste of the installations, performances and work at the Summer Show, take a look below at some pictures from the exhibitions and the private view.

Our next Summer Show opens in September: join us for the MA Summer Show private view on Thursday 5 September 2019, 6-9pm.

Two women stand in front of paintings. The woman on the left wears a blue and white striped jacket and black trousers. The woman on the right is in a peach, floor-length dress and holds a bunch of flowers. There are five paintings behind them: three are on a white wall and the wall behind the middle two has been painted a terracotta colour. On the floor in front of these is a bronze sculpture of a face and two dried reeds.
