The Marzee International Graduate Show

Current exhibition
on display from 25 August until 26 October 2024

Held every year from August to October, the Marzee International Graduate Show is undoubtedly the highlight of our exhibition calendar and with it we aim to endorse the work of a new generation of jewellery artists; to increase their exposure to the wider public and to encourage a dialogue between makers and their wearers.

The first Marzee Graduate Show took place in 1986 and since then has grown from a modest exhibition to an event unparalleled in size and scope. Since 1995, the show has included students from a growing number of international schools and academies, providing a fascinating insight into the ideas and preoccupations that motivate young artists from around the world. Alongside the exhibition, we host a one-day symposium for  participating graduates in which they have an opportunity to engage with their contemporaries and present and talk about their work, their inspirations, their aspirations, and the challenges that face them as they embark on a life outside of the supportive environment of a school.
