Exhibition showcases designs with a conscience http://www.creativescotland.com/news/exhibition-showcases-designs-with-a-conscience-21112011

The Scottish Parliament has brought together 16 new graduates from Scotland’s four renowned art schools to create an exhibition – called ‘Design & Democracy’ – to showcase how inspired design can be both life enhancing and creative.

The exhibition is the first to combine works from all four of Scotland’s art schools: Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee; Edinburgh College of Art; Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen; and The Glasgow School of Art.

The exhibition will be housed within the Parliament’s Main Hall from the end of November 2011 to March 2012. It is the longest running exhibition ever to be held at the Parliament and is supported by Creative Scotland.
