We are delighted to announce our 2026 end of year showcase, Bish Bash Bosh, celebrating the creativity and dedication of our final year students.
From 15-20 June our Blenheim Walk campus will be transformed into a large-scale exhibition space, showcasing the creative talent from across our undergraduate degree courses, offering a valuable opportunity for industry professionals and the wider creative community to engage with the work of our graduating students. Students from our further education courses will present their final work at our Vernon Street campus from 1-6 June.
The undergraduate exhibition will also feature live performances by BMus (Hons) Popular Music Performance and BA (Hons) Creative Writing students, and an industry screening of work produced by our BA (Hons) Filmmaking students. Graduating BA (Hons) Fashion Design students will showcase their designs in a catwalk show.
Our Art Market will be open for visitors to purchase artwork created by students at both the undergraduate and further education shows.
“We are pleased to present our end-of-year showcase, highlighting the dedication, creativity, and bold ideas of our students. This dynamic exhibition highlights the diversity of talent nurtured at Leeds Arts University, and we hope visitors find as much inspiration and enjoyment in the work as we have.”
Vice-Chancellor Professor Simone Wonnacott
The branding was designed by final year BA (Hons) Graphic Design student Amelia Charlton, who chose fireworks as the central graphic to represent the celebration of students taking the next step in their life and graduating.
Amelia wanted to showcase both digital and analogue techniques in the branding to reflect the diversity of working methods at the university. To achieve this, the identity was developed using digital platforms while incorporating a CMYK colour palette, and the display typeface was created by hand using wooden letterpress.
“I am beyond grateful to have my work be chosen for the end of year show branding and it is such an amazing opportunity to have it used throughout the university and Leeds.”

Bish Bash Bosh is a free exhibition, open to all, and no booking is required. The fashion show and film screening are by invitation only.
