Hereford College of Arts summer shows have a strong reputation for presenting unique creative voices from the freshest of talent.

Every year, thousands attend to be inspired by artwork of all types from illustration, photography, and fine art installations, through textiles, 3D contemporary crafts, forged metal, all the way to graphics, digital media, and this year short film making. It is also a celebratory event for students, as they get ready to progress to exciting new opportunities after completing their qualifications.
