Creativity is borderless
UAL is striving for our work with the EU and wider Europe to remain borderless and creative.
Sir Nigel Carrington, UAL Vice-Chancellor, 2008 -21: ''Creative Unions is our way of saying it’s essential that our key cultural values are respected, treasured and promoted.''
Creative Unions is a collaborative movement to bring together creative talent from London and across the world in order to keep creativity borderless.
From April to September 2018, Central Saint Martins, MA Fine Art students took part in OVERPR!NT, AG!TATE, ACT!VATE at Centre de la Gravure.
An exhibition in three parts, OVERPR!NT stemmed from years of collaboration between European art schools which are all part of the Printmaking Union.
