Grad X

 

GradX 2026 was the annual graduate exhibition showcasing the work of students from the TU Dublin School of Art and Design, School of Media, School of Mechanical Engineering, and the TU Dublin Conservatoire.

The exhibition opened with a launch night on Thursday, 28 May (6:00pm – 10:00pm) and ran from Friday, 29 May to Thursday, 4 June, with daily opening hours of 10:00am – 5:00pm. The exhibition was closed on Sunday but reopened on Bank Holiday Monday, 1 June, with late openings each Thursday. It was hosted at the East Quad, TU Dublin City Campus, Grangegorman Road Lower, D07 XFF2.

Now in its fifth year at East Quad, the exhibition continues to celebrate this creative and cultural hub at the heart of TU Dublin’s Grangegorman campus, home to state-of-the-art studios, workshops, and performance spaces.

GradX is a key highlight of the academic year for both students and staff, presenting an innovative and wide-ranging body of work from over 200 graduating students. Featured programmes include Fine Art, Product Design (in partnership with Mechanical Engineering), Interior and Furniture Design, Visual Merchandising, Visual Communication Design, Creative Industries and Visual Culture, Film and Broadcasting, Game Design, Photography, and Journalism.

The work presented across the exhibition, print publication, and GradX website represents the culmination of years of full-time study, offering students a platform to showcase their ideas, craft, and creative achievement at a professional standard.
