Explore Our Exhibition
Firm Foundations Part II: The Legacy of St Albans School of Art honours the remarkable legacy of St Albans School of Art (now the School of Creative Arts). The exhibition celebrates this exciting milestone as well as the School’s ongoing impact on arts education, creativity, and community. Join our special Guided Exhibition Tour to discover the stories of those who have worked and studied here across the decades.
Self-Guided Sculpture Walk
Grab a Sculpture Map from the gallery desk and take a refreshing walk around campus to explore the outdoor sculptures for yourself! The Sculpture Walk forms part of the University Art Collection and presents an eclectic group of works which map the changing characteristics of British Sculpture since the 1950s.
We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring day!
