One of those students is John M. Cunningham who will open the graduate show on June 4th. John is Head of Creative Urban Places at the City of Melbourne and is leading the strategic development and management of a 10 year, multi-million dollar temporary and permanent public art project for the city.

LSAD for our first in-person Graduate Show since 2019 and there is a lot to look forward to from our 220 students. There are many strengths within this year’s show and we are very excited about the Graphic Design students who have moved into using User Experience (UX) design and interactive engagement. This allows people to use online facilities to look at all aspects of their life from safety and beauty products to education and much more. Our Creative Broadcast & Film Production students have produced exceptional work this year, featuring projects from the history of Coonagh Airfield to a must-see documentary on the Techno Music scene.”
He added, “It’s a very exciting time for LSAD having recently established our partnership with the Regional University Network – European University (RUN-EU), where we can collaborate with partners across Europe, allowing our students to gain an enhanced education and understanding of art, design, and creativity in a truly European context.”
The LSAD Graduate Show will open to the public at 3pm on June 4th and will be available to view from 10am to 5pm daily until June 12th.
