Creative Arts Exhibitions

At Markeaton Street, we exhibit an expansive mix of temporary and permanent collections to reflect the richness of the arts programmes within the School of Humanities, Law and Creative Arts. Our exhibitions are open to staff, students and the general public.

Exhibitions can range from the work of current students to installations that support academic research as well as larger external projects.
