Join us for a week-long celebration of creativity, featuring a vibrant series of showcase events produced by students from across our Creative and Cultural Industries programmes within the Division of Arts and Media.

Building on the success of the past two years, the Arts and Media Showcase Festival—part of the School of Business and Creative Industries—returns bigger and better, expanding into a multi-day, multi-campus extravaganza.

From 19th to 22nd May at Ayr Campus, attendees can enjoy an exciting line-up including film screenings, live music, theatrical performances, art exhibitions, journalism reels, and much more.

For the first time, we're also bringing the Showcase to Paisley! To celebrate the town’s rich cultural heritage, a special pop-up event will take place in the upper atrium of the main building at Paisley Campus on Thursday 29th May from 1pm–3pm.

This event is delivered in partnership with sustainable textiles CIC, ReMode, and will feature a curated selection of work produced as part of ReMode’s Heritage Lottery-funded project, Through the Mill. The project invited UWS Arts and Media students to respond to creative briefs that celebrate Paisley’s cultural heritage in fresh and imaginative ways.

Our events will take place as follows:

Wednesday 21st May 10-12pm Showcase of Student Documentary Work by our BA Journalism/BA (Hons) Journalism (Sport).

Wednesday 21st May 11-1pm MA Music Listening Party by our MA MUsic (Songwriting/Sound Production/Industries)

Wednesday 21st May 2-4pm Art Exhibition Opening by our BA (Hons) Graphic Arts & Moving Image students *

Wednesday 21st May 2.30pm - 4.30pm BA (Hons) Commercial Music and MA Music Showcase Awards

*Please note this event will run from 19th May to 23rd May

Please select a ticket for each session you wish to attend!

We look forward to welcoming you to Ayr Campus for this event.
