The annual Preston Illustration Degree Show opens on Friday 13th June with a Private View 6pm-9pm in VB214a in Victoria Building UCLan in Preston. It is part of the Creative Focus event in the School of Art Design and Performance.

Sixteen illustration students will be exhibiting their final year work from Monday 16th June to Saturday 21st June 10am -6pm.

Please note the Shows will not be open on the 14 and 15th June - I think there's a World Cup match on or something on the Saturday?
