TU Dublin Celebrates Emerging Creative Talent at GradX 2026
TU Dublin is delighted to welcome visitors to GradX 2026, the annual graduate exhibition showcasing the work of final-year students from the School of Art and Design, School of Media, School of Mechanical Engineering and the TU Dublin Conservatoire.
Now in its fifth year at the East Quad on TU Dublin’s Grangegorman Campus, GradX has become one of the University’s flagship cultural events, celebrating the creativity, innovation and achievements of graduating students across a broad range of disciplines.
The exhibition will launch on Thursday, 28 May, from 6:00pm to 10:00pm, and will run daily from Friday, 29 May, to Thursday, 4 June, from 10:00am to 5:00pm. While closed on Sunday, the exhibition will reopen on Bank Holiday Monday, 1 June, and will also feature late openings each Thursday.
Hosted in the East Quad - the creative and cultural hub at the heart of the Grangegorman Campus - GradX takes place across TU Dublin’s state-of-the-art studios, workshops, practice spaces and performance venues.
This year’s exhibition features an exciting and innovative range of work from more than 200 students across programmes including Fine Art, Product Design (in partnership with the School of 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 throughout the exhibition, accompanying print publication and online showcase represents the culmination of years of dedicated study, creative exploration and professional development. GradX provides students with an important opportunity to present their work to the public, industry partners, family, friends and the wider creative community.
From immersive installations and cutting-edge product design to powerful visual storytelling, media production and performance, GradX 2026 reflects the depth of talent and ambition emerging from TU Dublin’s creative programmes.
Members of the public are warmly invited to attend and experience the next generation of creative practitioners and innovators.
