2020 is an unusual year. Creative institutions and their final year students are currently facing a unique challenge as the Coronavirus pandemic wreaks havoc on plans for degree shows. All physical shows have either been cancelled or postponed but in a rapid shift some institutions are exploring what a degree show can be in a virtual space and we do hope you will check out these endeavours.
Below is a list of the current status of graduate shows from various institutions across the country. We will keep this list updated in the coming weeks as more information is made available. If you work at a creative institution and would like your degree event to be featured in this list please reach out to the 100 Archive.
The 100 Archive will be publishing an article later this month that explores what is next for our current degree show format and how it may need to adapt in an uncertain future.
