26 November 2024: A significant milestone for University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ Arts and Design students, the annual graduate student exhibition, FADX, has officially concluded for 2024.
Held every year in November, FADX provides the next generation of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ creatives from the the opportunity to showcase their work to family, friends, industry professionals and the wider community at an annual two-day event.
The event is entirely student led, with everything from the physical displays to the marketing having been developed, driven and implemented by the students.
This year’s event was hosted in Building 7 at the University, which served as FAD students’ home base during their studies – a nice touch for those graduating to complete their journey where it all began.
Building 7, the learning-cum-exhibition space, featured displays from Architecture, Design, Arts and Communication and Media students.
The night also saw awards and accolades bestowed, with the UC Creative Competition, 24hr Digital Design Challenge and Design and Interior Awards handed out on the evening.
A huge congratulations to all the award winners and exhibiters.
