FREE RANGE 2006 ART & DESIGN DEGREE SHOWS

Welcome to the sixth annual Free Range at The Old Truman Brewery, London. This is Europe's largest graduate art and design show with FREE ADMISSION! This is the hottest way to buy art – directly from the artist. Over the eight week period, thousands of students from the UK’s top art and design colleges will exhibit their work, giving you the perfect opportunity to talent scout for the next Tracey Emin or Rankin. Free Range was set up to showcase the works of budding designers and artists to both public and potential employers alike, giving students the best opportunity to promote their work. Each year the show has increased in size and popularity, making it a destination point for thousands of Londoners and lovers of visual arts. Over 100,000 people visited this free-entry show last year, putting it in the same league as one from say, The Royal Academy of Arts or the Victoria & Albert Museum. In addition to the events, the work of thousands of exhibitors is showcased in the official Free Range catalogue and website.

We hope you enjoy visiting this year's shows.
