A partnership piece with our performance, movement and stage-based courses

Dates: 11 June – 17 October 2025

Location: Ground Floor, South House, AUB Campus

The Art of Community: Summer Shows 2025 documents our collaborative and community approach by celebrating the diverse creative specialisms that are thriving here at AUB. From June through to October, we host our annual Summer Shows, which transform the campus into the most extensive gallery space in the south of England.

This poster exhibit includes a selection of installation shots from AUB’s 2024 Summer Shows and highlights the movement and performance-based, creative writing and fashion courses.

Every year, AUB opens its doors to thousands of visitors to marvel at the creative work of its extraordinary students from all over the world studying disciplines across art, design, media and performance from AUB’s Foundation Diploma, undergraduate courses and postgraduate programmes.

The Summer Shows provide an exciting opportunity for students to showcase their final project work to the public and demonstrate how they have developed their skills and knowledge to a professional standard during their studies at AUB.

A huge congratulations to all our artists, designers, makers, actors, dancers, performers, creative writers, event managers and who are exhibiting and being celebrated as part of this year’s shows – our Class of 2025.

"Summer Show-time at AUB is one of the most energising and exciting experiences of our year. Join us throughout the summer months to be energised by the creative work of our fabulous students from all over the world, including those studying on our Foundation course, our BA (Hons) programmes and the Graduate School. "We open our doors and welcome students and their families, alumni and industry, and thousands of visitors to share the magic and be part of the dream factory that is AUB."

– Lisa Mann, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer

TheGallery is a national and international public platform for the arts within the UK. Throughout the year, we work with teams and courses across the University to provide students and staff with opportunities to showcase their work, promoting the University’s shared passion for excellence in education, industry, and the art sector.
