A huge 'thank you!' to everyone who came down to the exhibition. We couldn't have had anywhere near the success that the exhibition was without every single one of you there! We got lots of positive feedback and comments from many of you and we are very grateful for all your well wishes and interest. This blog received well in excess of 1,300 views in the few weeks we had it up and running and we are glad that so many were then able to come down to the show itself. Thank you again and we all look forward to perhaps seeing you again in future venues as we embark on our careers.

Now that the show is down and closed there is still time to explore the artists and their work further by clicking on some of the links to external websites.

All our best wishes, always.

The Creative Degree Show 2012 participants.

Degree show now open!

Though the opening evening is gone the exhibition is still ongoing until the 21st June. The open evening itself was a huge success and we truly enjoyed every second of it and getting to meet so many people. We at The University of Bolton would like to say a huge 'thank you' to all who were able to make it.

We'd love the opportunity to meet even more of you and to get the chance to show you what we've been up to this year so please do come down. There are artists and photographers available each day to walk and talk you through the exhibition should you like a little more insight and we'll always do our best to answer any questions you may have.

Hope to see you there soon!
