The show is the culmination of three years’ hard work by the students and visitors can expect to see a diverse range of painting, drawing, sculpture, new media work, film, innovative design projects, performances and film and theatre screenings.

Communications manager for the event student Ross Davies said: “There literally will be something for everybody.

“The showcase name, Coordinate, captures the artists in every sense of the word. We unite, combine, merge and blend and our varied characteristics come together to invent harmony. We correlate, synchronise and organise.

“At large, we stand as a coordination of three years. Alone, we exude temporal elements in our coordination between and within the artistic realm. Cooperation exists at the very core of our show; relationship between artist, work, viewer and society continuously manifesting.”
