2025 Graduate Exhibition Announced.

What’s at Stake represents the culmination of two years’ work by emerging artists graduating from the HND Contemporary Art Practice Course at Edinburgh College. The exhibition showcases a dynamic range of contemporary practices reflecting the artists’ rigorous investigation of material and conceptual concerns. 

Working across painting, sculpture, performance and digital media, the artists have developed distinctive voices through independent practice and collaborative exchange. The resulting body of work reveals a shared commitment to expanding the boundaries of contemporary art practice while maintaining thoughtful engagement with its traditions. 

These graduates demonstrate significant artistic development with most progressing to advanced study at prestigious undergraduate and post graduate programmes across the UK,  while others will develop their practice independently. Their trajectory speaks to both their individual talents and the programme’s success in cultivating critically engaged practitioners. 

What’s at Stake is an exhibition that offers audiences an opportunity to encounter a new generation of artistic voices at a pivotal moment in their professional development. The works on view represent both an achievement and a promise—of continuing innovation and meaningful contribution to the cultural landscape.
