The Common Room Gallery Project is a mini refurb project that aims to shake up the Common Room (the seating area by the Community Kitchen and O2 Academy) with student artwork from student groups and general students. 

The Theme for this art project is 'My Uni Life' encouraging students to reflect on and capture the academic, social, personal and/or professional aspects of university life. This project is open to all University of Leicester students and students are more than welcome to collaborate and submit artwork as a group, so long as your group does not exceed 10 people. 

 

SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN AND CLOSE ON FRIDAY 16TH MAY 2025, 23:59

To learn all about the project including the theme breakdown, key dates and submission guidelines please see the Project Handbook.
