York St John Fine Art Degree show 2025

At SCAF, we’re dedicated to nurturing connections between artistic communities and individuals across North Yorkshire.

York St John University’s campus is a thriving hub of creativity and potential, and every year we’re thrilled to witness this come to life through their Degree Show Exhibition. This annual event is a celebration of collaboration, talent, and the culmination of years of creative study. It brings together graduating cohorts from a range of creative disciplines to present their final work in a vibrant showcase before they move on to new chapters.

For Fine Art students, the show marks a particularly poignant milestone. It’s a moment of reflection, ambition, and professional possibility. The range of work on display is always expansive and thought-provoking, offering viewers a glimpse into both personal explorations and broader cultural conversations.

In this post, we’re sharing just a glimpse into the diverse and inspiring works created by this year’s Fine Art graduates from YSJ. Our next feature will offer a more in-depth look at selected artists and their creative processes—stay tuned for more in a fortnight.

Together, these works demonstrate not only individual talent, but the strength and momentum of a vibrant artistic community.

The Degree Show creates space for dialogue, visibility, and meaningful connections—marking a pivotal moment for these emerging artists.

A huge congratulations to these incredible artists and good luck for their upcoming graduation and beyond!
