A&D Annual Graduate Showcase
You are invited to participate in the A&D Annual 22 Graduate Exhibition
The A&D Annual is the largest showcase of graduate contemporary art and design in Australia.
Presented across the UNSW Paddington campus and online from 7–18 December 2022, it is an opportunity to share your work with a broader audience, and celebrate your achievements.
Each year, prizes are awarded to outstanding Art & Design graduates, including the TWT Excellence Prize supported by the Bridging Hope Charity Foundation which includes a $3,000 bursary and artist studio at St Leonards Creative Precinct for a year.

Registration
To be included in either the exhibition or the website, you must register online. The registration portal will close 11.59pm Monday 24 October 2022. Late entries submitted after the deadline via email will not be accepted.

The Annual Website is an opportunity to represent your practice through an online profile. This profile includes a 100-word statement about your practice, 1–5 high-quality images of your work, and links to your personal website and/or Instagram account.
Submission of at least one high-quality image is mandatory to be included in the website, and a maximum of five images will be accepted. These images do not need to be the finished work you are planning to exhibit, they just need to be indicative of your practice. Any images or statements supplied must be your own work and must not infringe copyright.

The Annual Exhibition will be presented at the Paddington campus from 7 – 18 December 2022.
When proposing work for exhibition, please keep in mind that the A&D Annual is a group show that accommodates works from a large cohort of students. Space is limited, so please only propose modest work for inclusion.
Installation
UNSW Galleries staff will design and install the exhibition. You will be notified of a specific date, time, and location to deliver your work between 24 November – 2 December 2022. You may or may not be requested to be onsite during install.
Students with 2D artworks must deliver their work with a suitable hanging system or D-rings attached for display. Students working in moving image should encode videos as an H264 format MP4 file. Video works may be displayed on a show-reel, and students requiring AV resources may be requested to borrow this equipment from the Resource Centre (4D Hub) or Computing Services Unit (CSU). Please keep in mind that completing the registration form does not guarantee any equipment or installation requests.
Deinstallation
All works must be collected on Monday 19 or Tuesday 20 December 2022 between 9am–5pm. Works will not be released before these dates. UNSW Galleries will not be responsible for the packaging of works. It is the responsibility of all students to return borrowed equipment.
