You are warmly invited to join us for this year’s biggest event in The Cass calendar – the annual Summer Show, where outstanding talent of our graduating students is celebrated.

The Cass Summer Show 2019 will take place from 20 to 30 June 2019, opening with a private view on 19 June from 3-9pm.

The annual Summer Show private view event is the biggest in the University calendar, regularly attracting 2,000 people on opening night to celebrate the success of our graduating cohort.

The private view on 19 June 2019

The private view on 19 June will open from 3pm to 5pm for friends and family, during which there will be presentations of prizes and also the launch of Anthology III, the collaborative publication by creative writing and visual communication students.

The show will then be open to all from 6pm onwards.

The exhibition areas will be Goulston Street (architecture, interiors and visual communication courses), the Wash Houses (3D design subjects) and the Annexe (fine art and photography). There will be a cross-school making exhibition in the Atrium.

The main Summer Show exhibition

The main exhibition will see graduating students from all disciplines display their work across the school’s Aldgate campus.

The main exhibition is open from Thursday 20 June to Sunday 30 June 2019, from 10am to 7pm during the week, and 11am to 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Tickets to the main show are free and can be booked in advance.

During the Summer Show

During the show period there will be a variety of other events. The School will invite businesses, practitioners and gallerists to an employers' breakfast on Tuesday 25 June as an opportunity to speak with graduates about their work. A Livery Company awards ceremony for upholstery and furniture students will also take place on 25 June at 6pm.

On Friday 28 June there will be an Undergraduate Open Day for people considering a creative degree, offering a chance to both tour the show and to meet academic staff and students from the School.

If this packed schedule from The Cass isn’t enough, students from games and animation as well as music and film courses at the University’s School of Computing and Digital Media will present their work at the Summer Show on 6 and 7 June at Holloway Road. Film production students will screen their work at Final Cuts 2019 held at the British Film Institute (BFI) Southbank on 14 June from 2pm.
