NCAD Works 2024 and Guided Tour

The annual NCAD Graduate Exhibitions will take place at the National College of Art and Design, Thomas Street, this month. Across the Thomas Street campus, the Annex on James Street, and Grace Gifford House located on John's Street West, students will display their undergraduate and postgraduate work through a broad and diverse range of exhibitions and installations.

The annual CEAD (Centre for Continuing Education in Art & Design) exhibition will also take place in June and features the work of students who partook in the broad range of accredited and non-credit courses offered at NCAD. CEAD provides a diverse programme of courses, offering flexible, quality learning opportunities that enable access and support progression and transfer for students who wish to further their visual arts education.

Our graduate students are fully engaged with the world beyond the NCAD campus, and they continue to demonstrate their ambition and commitment to making work that has impact and meaning to us all in many different ways. The big challenges that face society can be traced across our graduates' work as they apply their creativity to bringing new solutions, critical thinking, and reflection onto issues including sustainability, gender identity and equality, well-being, new technologies, and our digital and material futures.

An education at NCAD is the starting point for generations of bold and curious minds that have made an enormous contribution to society in many different ways. Experimentation in the studio, learning through doing, deep understanding of materials and processes, as well as the criticality that is embedded across all pathways, prepare graduates to thrive in and beyond the worlds of art and design. We cannot predict the kind of world our graduates will be working in, but we do know that the imagination, creativity, and critical thinking they have gained during their time at NCAD will equip them to make an impact in whatever path they follow. We need thinkers and doers who are not afraid to ask questions, adapt, and lead, and this generation of NCAD graduates' creativity and resilience will benefit us all in years to come.

NCAD Works 2024 is open to the public from Friday, June 7 until Saturday, June 15 (opening times vary). The CEAD NCAD Works 2024 exhibition will be open to the public from Saturday, June 22 until Thursday, June 27 (opening times vary).
