central saint martins in the fields

central saint martins in the fields is an exhibition of work by recent art and design graduates from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London in the Crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 4JH from 5 October – 4 November 2017 (Monday: 8am – 8pm, Tuesday: 8am – 8pm, Wednesday: 8am – 10.30pm, Thursday: 8am – 9pm, Friday: 8am – 9pm,
Saturday: 9am – 9pm, Sunday: 11am – 6pm).

St Martin's School of Art was established in 1854 by St Martin-in-the-Fields. The Revd Henry Mackenzie and others were concerned that art and design training should be developed alongside the religious and general education already provided by Church schools, to ‘extend the influence of science and art upon productive industry’ following the Great Exhibition of 1851.

The art school soon became independent, and over a century later in 1986 merged with Central School of Art and Design to become Central Saint Martins. Today, the College is an internationally recognised centre for art and design education and research, based in King’s Cross.

For this exhibition Central Saint Martins returns to one of its roots, St Martin-in-the-Fields. Over 150 years later, our connection remains the belief in the power of creativity as a catalyst for change in both individuals and the wider community.

The exhibition has been curated by Angela Sanchez del Campo and Mark Dunhill.
