Postgraduate Winter Show 2026

Dates: 18 December 2026 – 28 January 2027

Location: University House and South House, AUB Campus

TheGallery in collaboration with Arts University Bournemouth (AUB)’s postgraduate courses, is proud to present the Postgraduate Winter Show 2026.

This collection of work is a dynamic celebration of the achievements of AUB’s postgraduate students from the January 2026 intake, bringing together a diverse range of thought-provoking work, research and ideas from a new generation of emerging creative practitioners.

The show offers students a platform to present their work and share their research with the public, many for the first time. It also marks a significant moment in their professional journeys and forms part of AUB’s prestigious Postgraduate Show portfolio.

The show also reflects one of AUB’s greatest strengths: the diversity of our postgraduate community. Students from across the world bring global perspectives, cultures and creative traditions that enrich our university, alongside mature students whose varied life experiences, professional insight and resilience demonstrate that creativity is lifelong and that there's no single path into creative practice.

The MA courses at AUB offer a personalised, industry-focused experience designed to extend creative practice, deepen critical thinking and connect students with professional networks. Whether they're specialising, reinventing or accelerating a creative career, AUB provides the environment, expertise and opportunities for postgraduate students to flourish. The Postgraduate Winter Show celebrates this spirit of enquiry, showcasing ambitious and wide-ranging work that explores the boundaries of each discipline.
