Exhibit and sell your work
Exhibitions, trade shows and events are a great way to get your name out there and promote your business. As well as selling your work and getting commissions, they can be excellent networking opportunities. It's also useful for getting first-hand feedback on your products and prices.
Careers and Employability can help UAL students and graduates through:
- Open calls for new products and artwork to sell in not just a shop
- Our annual stand at trade show Top Drawer
- Purchasing work for the UAL Collection
The Careers and Employability programme of free events will help you to turn your business ideas into a reality.
