Free Range Graduate Art & Design Show
Free Range is Europe's largest graduate art and design show with free admission. Each year, shows rotate weekly over an 8 week period in several different venues, broadly covering 4 disciplines: design, photography, art and interiors.
Free Range was set up by Tamsin O’Hanlon in 2001 to showcase the works of designers and artists to both public and potential employers alike, giving graduating students the best opportunity to promote their work and providing a National platform for UK student talent.
Popular with collectors, students, universities, employers, the media, industry shakers and everyday art lovers alike, Free Range has grown to become one of the world’s largest art fairs, now occupying the vast historic site at the Old Truman Brewery off Brick Lane in the East End of London.
Located at the centre of London’s creative community, the free event offers an unrivalled opportunity for both the artist and the public. Free Range Director, Tamsin O’Hanlon explains, “Free Range is an unprecedented display of youth, art and creativity. It’s vast scale, variety and location sets it apart from other more parochial student art events. Free Range offers the best opportunity for the general public and the art-buying community to uncover tomorrow’s talent at today’s prices.”
In addition to the events, the work of thousands of exhibitors is showcased in the official Free Range catalogue and website.
Free Range website also provides a free platform where every exhibitor, both past and present, can showcase their portfolios all year round. 1
Free Range 2008 is in association with Metro, sponsored by the London Graphic Centre and supported by Dazed & Confused, Grafik, The British Journal of Photography, Art Below, and the Chartered Society of Designers.
