The IGNITE Festival of Creativity is an iMayflower funded project to support arts focused final degree show activity across the University of Plymouth and Plymouth College of Art.
During 2020 we developed a digital platform to showcase arts graduates and provide opportunities to network and gain commissioned work from industry partners.
Building on its success, this year we are supporting an expanded scope of activity including streamed performances, exhibitions, installations, projections and other pop-up activity taking place on campus and within the city.
You can also read more about the University’s supporting degree show activity across the School of Humanities and Performing Arts and the School of Art, Design and Architecture below.
A selection of live streamed theatrical and musical performances from University of Plymouth students.
Due to restrictions in place, these performances will be live streamed to the Jill Craigie Cinema.
This year we are taking degree show activity to the city and into both traditional and unexpected spaces. We’re celebrating the impressive creativity, innovation and talent of our students across a wide spectrum of disciplines, from architecture and design to media and photography, with the support of our festival city-wide partners.
