Ones to watch
This year’s Graduate Showcase presents ten recent graduates selected by both the Society of Scottish Artists and Visual Arts Scotland. Working together for the first time the visiting council members of the societies chose five graduates each from their visits to the 2017 degree shows at Scotland’s five main art schools: Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art and Design in Dundee, Edinburgh College of Art, Glasgow School of Art, Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen and the Moray School of Art, University of the Highlands and Islands.
Continuing their tradition of celebrating the ambitious and the new, the Society of Scottish Artists were looking for innovative and fresh work from the promising artists of the future. Visual Arts Scotland’s remit lay with the craft makers, designers and applied arts practitioners. As always, there were challenging decisions to be made.
