Welcome to the 2022 Graduate Show website where you can discover the next generation of creative talent and view the culmination of our graduating students’ time at ECA. This year we are proud to celebrate not only the creativity and talent of our graduates, but also their tenacity, resilience and determination during the world-changing pandemic.

We ask that you exercise caution when browsing with younger viewers as some of the work may be considered challenging.
