Summer Shows

Every summer our brilliant art, design, media, fashion, film, music, photography, textiles, architecture, product design, and design engineering students show their work at the University of Brighton Summer Shows.

The inspirational shows take place in gallery spaces at our Grand Parade, Edward Street at City campus and Mithras House at Moulsecoomb campus.

Our students are busy preparing for the upcoming 2025 Summer Shows which will see large parts of the university turn into a huge free exhibition space.
