Visual Arts

The University supports the visual arts, through its extensive fine art collection and through exhibitions and events relating to the visual arts, both on its campuses and collaboratively at the venues of external partner organisations.

The University's sculpture collection at the Streatham Campus is open to all to visit, containing sculptures by artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Peter Thursby, Geoffrey Clark and Elaine M. Goodwin. The University is also developing its sculpture collection at the Cornwall Campus.

The public are also welcomed to the Bill Douglas Centre for the History of Cinema and Popular Culture, a museum containing an enormous collection relating to the history of film and visual media.

The University's Heritage Collections can also be viewed by appointment.  These include a rich variety of archive material including historic prints and maps.

There is a strong student Art Society at the University which has a dedicated art studio and exhibition space.

The University has a small number of exhibition spaces at:

• The Forum
• The Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies Building
• Kay House Duryard
