The annual NCAD Graduate Exhibition is taking place this week at the NCAD campus and the Digital Hub, both on Thomas St, Dublin 8 (near Guinness Storehouse for those not Dublin-wise). I’ve popped along to this every year for the past few years and it’s always been thoroughly enjoyable & inspirational. On show is work from graduates of both the undergrad and postgrad courses covering everything from fine art to ceramics to jewelry design to video installations to industrial design and much much more. Fine Art postgrad exhibitions (MA & MFA) are are located in the Digital Hub while all other work is at the NCAD campus. Map with both locations is here. The exhibition has been running since Friday and continues through the week from 10am to 8pm every evening, finishing on Friday June 12th.

This Thursday evening sees SweetTalk 35 hitting The Sugar Club with a feast of graphic design & illustration deliciousness. 3 amazingly talented designers/typographers/illustrators will be speaking about their work: Alex Trochut (work produced for Nike, Coca-Cola, the The Guardian, British Airways, Addidas) Ian Stevenson (MTV, E4, Paul Smith, Perrier) Gaetan Billault (Jo’Burger, Bodytonic, Snyth Eastwood, Mongrel magazine) I’ve been to a few SweetTalk evenings and always find them really inspiring, especially the Q&A session afterwards with the speakers. Not to mention the comfy factor of The Sugar Club! But be warned - it’s a very popular event so either grab your tickets now at www.tickets.ie or get there in plenty of time on Thursday and grab them on the door. It’s €10 in, doors open at The Sugar Club at 7pm.
