Talented students are putting the finishing touches to work for the 2015 Art and Design Show, which starts on Friday 12 June at Bucks New University.
The show, which will run until Thursday 18th June at the university's campus in Queen Alexandra Road, High Wycombe, will feature an imaginative and ambitious range of work from undergraduate and postgraduate students on the university's art and design, creative and furniture courses.
It is also the first event to make use of The Room at the university, a newly-completed multi-purpose space at the campus designed to host all kinds of events, from exhibitions and shows to film screenings and music nights.
Andreas Fabian, co-curator for the show, says: "The exhibition spaces are being set up ready for the show and work is nearing completion. We cannot wait to welcome visitors!
"This is the culmination of three years of hard work by our graduating students and they will also enjoy the prestige of being the first to make use of The Room."
