Display space

Display your passion

Do you have photographs, art, poster displays or hobby crafts you would like to exhibit? We are always on the lookout for new displays and exhibits - anything with a visual appeal that you feel passionately about or think might interest or educate other people. We are really happy to help you think about what your display might look like, put it up and take it down afterwards.

The Library is one of the busiest venues of campus and your display will enjoy attractive natural lighting and a high footfall of visitors. Any student, staff member or person associated with the University can display their work. If you are thinking about putting together a display we would love to hear from you, so please get in touch.

Details and dimensions of our display boards and cabinets are available as a downloadable pdf guide.

Here we celebrate the work of local British artist Delaine Le Bas

Delaine Le Bas works in a transdisciplinary way: she combines visual, performative and literary practices to create an artistic oeuvre that encompasses all areas of life. In her works, she deals with many facets, political as well as private and emotional, which involve belonging ot the Rom*nja people, their history and rich cultural heritage. (Succession Vienna). She was nominated for the Turner Prize 2024.

Delaine's artwork incorporates a photo of her family at the Wickham Horse Fair - perfectly complementing the exhibition on the display boards.
