In Summer 2025 creativity took centre stage on the streets of Bristol. The University of the West of England (UWE) brought its annual Graduate Show beyond the campus walls and into the public eye, using our network of street-level billboard sites to showcase the next generation of creative talent.

Working with UWE, we launched a special campaign that celebrated the work of graduating students from a diverse range of courses, including illustration, fashion, graphic design, photography, film making, fine art and more. Each poster highlighted a unique piece of student work, turning everyday city spaces into vibrant galleries and giving passersby a front-row seat to Bristol’s incredible emerging talent.

We wanted the campaign to do more than just advertise a graduate show. We wanted it to embody it. Each billboard became an extension of the exhibition itself, transforming streets into curated art trails and inviting the public to pause, look closer, and engage.

Whether you're an art lover, a student, or simply enjoying a walk through the city, this initiative is a reminder of how powerful and inspiring public space can be when used creatively.

UWE Showcase 2025 took place from 6-11 June 2025 at the Frenchay and City campuses.
