170 years of Arts University Plymouth 🫶

Have you checked out In The Making: 170 Years of Arts University Plymouth at The Box, Plymouth yet? It's free and open until October 4th ✨️

We just posted a TikTok with some sneak peaks, and the image above is about life at the school, college and now University... It even features some "PCA Grad" friendship bracelets that belong to our Manager, which were made by students for a fundraiser some years ago. 🌟

You can find the exhibition upstairs amongst archival information about Plymouth as a whole, and if you're planning on joining AUP in September, we'll have a trip to The Box where you can explore the museum as a whole! More on that soon... 🤫

Hands up if you're excited for the Graduate Shows 🙋🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

We're also very excited about our custom cups from BA(Hons) Fine Art Graduate and former Student Union President, Beth aka 💫

You can get your hands on these one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn cups exclusively at the Student Union Bar on the Private View night 🍻✍️

We can't wait to see all of your work! 🎨🖌️🖼️📸

Here's a cheeky throwback to our May Fair event via some ✨ iconic ✨ photo booth photos!

Thanks to everyone who came along to this year's event. We raised over £100 towards the Student Union Food Bank 🎉
