Innovation Studio : Creative Exchange Exhibition

Industry-engagement and our strong maker culture puts collaboration at the heart of everything we do.

Creative Exchange Exhibition

Supported by European Regional Development Funding (ERDF)

This exhibition ran from 15 December 2017 to 15 February 2018 and showcased collaborative projects between AUB and industry.

Along with the display of artefacts and digital pieces, The Creative Exchange highlights the process behind these unique projects, capturing the journey from conceptual brief to creative output.

The exhibition invited the industry to attend a private view with a panel discussion held between local businesses and organisations: Treehouse Digital, RNLI and Ecologic Developments.

The exhibition was curated by Adele Keeley, Daniel Cox and Lucy Devall.
