The New Generation show presents a variety of our carefully selected graduate work from
the four Scottish Art Schools and it demonstrates our continuing commitment to recognising
and supporting each new generation at this important and exciting start of their professional
development. Many of today’s young graduates become tomorrow’s solo exhibitors, lecturers
and curators. We are always struck by the creative ideas, energy and skills of those on the
threshold of their future careers. In recent years, a mix of international students and huge
technological developments and processes have brought a new slant to the Degree Shows.
Amongst this year’s graduates, there is much focus on imaginative conceptual work,
however Compass, for this exhibition, still seeks out and finds excellent examples of the more
conventional and traditional methods and skills. The combination of all these aspects of today’s
contemporary art, is what makes it so interesting. We hope that you will join us for an insight
into what is going on in the minds of today’s developing young artists.
We invite you to join us at the opening of the exhibition on
Saturday 1st July 2017 from 1.30 to 4.30pm.
