Now in its sixteenth year, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to see some of the most promising talent in Scotland in one single, large-scale exhibition in the heart of Edinburgh. Showcasing 63 graduates selected from the 2024 degree shows, the exhibition is a brilliant overview of the current outlook of emerging Scottish art and architecture.

 

Selection was made by Exhibition Convenor Robbie Bushe RSA, with assistance from fellow Academicians and representatives from the five main colleges of art. The five Scottish schools of architecture are each represented by graduates selected by Architecture Convenors Ann Nisbet RSA (Elect). 

 

We are delighted to once again be supported by The Skinny as our Media Partner and Glenfiddich as drinks sponsor and a major award giver.
