Crossover

Overview

Some people would argue that all a creative arts degree gives students is the fashion taste to stand behind a coffee machine. And sure, there may be an almost impossible to ignore relationship between the astounding number of cafes we have in Brisbane and the number of creative arts students who consider their degree a diploma in café aesthetics, thus reason enough to start one. But here in Queensland, the hopeful state, we’ve got more than enough reason to invest faith in this year’s talented graduating Griffith design students and hope they go on to make great art and not an okay latte.

Crossover is the Queensland College of Art Design Graduate Exhibition 2013 and it promises to showcase it’s finest talents that emerged from years of studying what they know best – design and art. An ever evolving artform, this event aims to shed a little light on the current understanding of design and a explosively engaging manner – to expect anything boring from design students is plain ignorant.

The showcase will be held for one night at the cosy Ship Inn on South Bank, kicking off at 5.30pm. Pop along if you’re interested in design, a student or just want a little affirmation that this year’s design graduates will be pulling themselves back from the abyss of cuffed jeans and coffee, and making good in a far more appropriate field.
