For the Class of Covid-19, the pandemic has left them grappling with no access to workshops, 'virtual' degree shows and uncertain career prospects. CR investigates the deepening crisis in the UK's art schools, and whether they are doing enough to support students

For arts students in the final year of their studies, coronavirus couldn't have come at much of a worse time. At art schools across the UK, campuses have been closed and students forced out of their accommodation, while lectures for the final term of the year will now be delivered online and graduations are postponed indefinitely. As for the summer degree show - the much anticipated final moment before students step into the brave new world of work - an increasing number of universities have chosen to scrap them in their traditional form entirely, as they scramble to support their students while also trying to stay financially afloat themselves.

As with most other sectors, higher education has been blindsided by the pandemic, and inevitably some institutions will come out of the other side having handled it better than others. The most high profile target for criticism so far has been the Royal College of Art, which last month announced a move to online learning and a virtual degree show. So far, almost 8,000 people, including Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Leckey, have signed a petition "saying no to the virtual show", and calling on the university to postpone all coursework and degree shows until the current lockdown is over.

"I think it is important to separate the tutors from upper management," says Ricky Stoch, a final year student on the RCA's Visual Communication course. "In my opinion, the tutors are doing their best to listen to students' needs and are trying to accommodate. Tutors with whom I have spoken are hugely sympathetic to our concerns and tend to agree with the students. However, when it comes to upper management our concerns appear to fall on deaf ears. From our perspective there has been little to no attempt to come up with a solution in consultation with the student body. All of our classes and assessments have moved online regardless of the fact that the technology is not advanced enough to support big group discussions, studio work or access to workshops, which form the foundation of RCA's pedagogical approach."

This is a chance (a forced chance) to take a long hard look at what a degree show is, what it actually functionally does, and think about how it could do that job better. Even if your degree show is postponed until september, term will still be finished in the summer, and it could be worth thinking through what else is possible as alternative or addition.

Performing arts graduates fear missing out on crucial opportunities to gain agent representation, and exposure to casting directors and influential industry figures

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Drama school students preparing to graduate in 2020 have expressed their frustration and worry after showcases, exhibitions and final-year productions were put on ice indefinitely this week.

With many schools cancelling face-to-face teaching and public events in an attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus, actors and creatives finishing their degrees this year face missing out on crucial opportunities to gain agent representation, and exposure to casting directors and influential industry figures.

Many students were already in rehearsals for public productions or showcases, which have now been postponed indefinitely or cancelled entirely.

Miles Griffin, a third-year acting student at London College of Music, who was two weeks away from performing in his final production, told The Stage: "It's really scary because it's like someone has gone: 'You're not having that help any more, you need to go on your own and find your own work.'

"For a new actor that's just about to go into the industry, that is petrifying. We've done three years of hard work, for something to just take it away within days. It's a horrible time, it's scary."

Isabelle Anderson, who graduates from Italia Conti this year, said that while some drama schools had scheduled their showcases prior to the coronavirus outbreak, she knew many students who had not yet performed at showcases they were relying on as a springboard into work.

"Certain agents have come to see our shows, but it feels like a lot of our interest would come from the showcase. That's the big thing that most people get signed from," she said.

Anderson added that many other opportunities for graduating actors, such as Shakespeare Globe's Sam Wanamaker Festival and the Stephen Sondheim Society Student Performer of the Year competition, had also been cancelled.

"All of these incredible things we were supposed to have for third year have suddenly been snatched away," she said.

Emma Tracey, a graduating student from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, had been due to perform in her final-year showcase on March 23. The Stage understands that the school's BA Theatre Practice Exhibition - in which students studying design, stage management and technical courses showcase their work - had been due to take place in April.

Central is not planning on resuming face-to-face teaching until at least the end of the summer term, the school confirmed.

Tracey said: "For first and second years that means all their teaching would go online, but for third years it means we are all in limbo, [as] you can't exactly do a public production online.

"It feels like we were on the cusp of it all, and then somebody's gone: 'Oh, not yet, you're just going to have to wait a bit longer', which is really frustrating."

A statement from Central said: "We understand how disappointing this will be for our students, and particularly for those with forthcoming productions, exhibitions and showcases... It is with great pride that we are able to share their work with a wider audience including industry, and it is therefore with enormous regret that the decision to suspend these activities was reached.

"The health and well-being of our community is, however, our foremost concern. Given the circumstances, we simply could not take the chance of putting anyone's health at risk. "

The school said it was in regular contact with staff and students about trying to make "alternate arrangements" where possible, and that it was exploring several options.

"These are exceptional days, and we are far from alone in combating these difficulties, but we will continue to explore every possible avenue by which to celebrate and share the work of our graduating students," the statement added.

Agents and casting directors have been praised for making social media call-outs for digital showreels and spotlight links from graduating performers. However, students are fearful that it may prove difficult to reschedule invaluable live performances.

Anderson said: "It's so fast moving, drama school. Before you've thought about it it's on to the next year group, and we don't want to be the forgotten year."

In response, she began encouraging graduates to share their details on a dedicated Twitter hashtag - #uk2020grads - to help boost their profiles.

Talent agency Simon and How Associates is among those actively seeking out graduate performers on social media.

The company's founder, agent Samantha How, said: "We're in so much chaos at the moment that it's never been more important to let them know that we're here for them. We want to see them work and give them the opportunities they have worked for.

"It's a case of the industry just rallying together and making sure that graduates are getting the shot they very much deserve."

She added: "We want to get the message out there that nobody has been abandoned and nobody is going to be abandoned in the future."

"many design students [...]  having already spent hefty amounts of money on materials and supplies gearing up to make their final collection, which they most likely won’t be able to produce at all. "And without any work to show, we aren’t going to be able to get any jobs.""

"I literally left home fresh out of high school to go study in a brand new country without knowing anyone to do my dream course and all three years leading up to my final project and graduation have been ripped away from me in one email." This was an Instagram DM I received from Andrea Fragnaud, a hair, make-up, and prosthetics for performance student at London College of Fashion. Fragnaud, like thousands of other students at Universities across the country, has returned back to her family home (in Washington, D.C.) as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to spread at a rapid pace. As announced this week, lectures for the final term of the year will now be delivered online, graduations have already been postponed, degree shows have been scrapped whilst universities scramble to find methods to support their students and showcase their work virtually.

For anyone who embarks on a creative degree, the final moment is what counts. For the three or four years of solid hard graft you've put in prior, each trial and tribulation prepares you for it. The sleepless nights, the seven-day weeks; it's all worth it for that final moment. Your personal masterpiece, your pièce de resistance, your big entrance to what tomorrow brings. For thousands of final year university students across the country, this moment will not happen.

"I know it's necessary that they've closed our campuses but my whole degree fully depends upon us having access to machinery and equipment," says Ellie Cook, who studies bespoke tailoring, also at LCF. Most courses at University of the Arts universities are currently working on submission adjustments which will ensure students who don't have access to equipment will not be left at an unfair advantage. Whilst a step in the right direction, many design students such as Cook having already spent hefty amounts of money on materials and supplies gearing up to make their final collection, which they most likely won't be able to produce at all. "And without any work to show, we aren't going to be able to get any jobs," fears Cook.

A similar disheartenment can be felt across the graphic communication design course at Central Saint Martins. "Since first year, it is constantly said the degree show is the most important show to springboard you into the industry," says Olivia Alexander who studied on the course since 2017. "[Tutors] would always say to us things like 'we get higher footfall than the Tate' so you know the pressure, prestige, and most of all the opportunity is huge." Architecture is another course that relies heavily on a degree show says Rebecca Ashworth, who is currently completing her degree at the University of Liverpool. "Many potential employers come to the [the degree show] to find new architects, a lot of hopeful architects already riddled with stress are now left hopeless and anxious for the future."

Although courses are planning on staging virtual degree shows, many students' concepts simply don't work outside of the physical space. "Almost the entire class are doing print publications for a reason," says one fashion journalism student from CSM, who explains their class deadline has not been extended (yet) and their brief requirements are yet to be altered. "Regardless of the way print is going, we all connect so much more with a physical object, and talking to the person that poured their soul into it." The uncertainties of how the Covid-19 virus will impact their careers after university is also having an impact on students. "If it was uncertain whether we would have jobs to go into before the pandemic, this has only increased tenfold," says Hannah Thompson a fashion journalism student LCF.

For fellow classmate Harry Archer, the developments of the virus have made him question his career entirely: "When there are people in hospitals who are doing something of actual use, they're maintaining people's health, they're combatting a virus. What do we do, write? It just makes you question the worth of it all." The University of the Arts has outlined the postponement of graduate ceremonies to allow for possible deadline extensions amongst courses. This comes as a particularly difficult predicament as, despite current circumstances clearly requiring more time on final projects, students will be receiving their final student loan at the beginning of April. This means by the time Summer arrives, most of them will be actively seeking full-time employment to cover rent and living costs, which could severely limit the amount of time they have to dedicate to their studies and could result in students moving away from the city their university is situated in entirely.

Though with every cloud comes a silver lining, and students across the country are determined to get the final bow they deserve. After the Edinburgh College of Art degree show was axed, MA fine art student Jody Mulvey set up @sadgrads2020. "I created this Instagram to try combat the feeling that because we have lost this moment within our academic career, our artistic career must be doomed - it's not - and also to show that, although we are all physically distant from each other, our emotions bring us together," says Mulvey. The account will showcase the work of students across the UK in an effort to maintain creative momentum and to grow a network between students who may have never connected otherwise.

In a similar vein, The Social Distance Art Project, run by four BA fine art students at York St John University, has already gained over 2000 Instagram followers and is working on a website to easily exhibit student's work from across the country: "We're all creative people, and in this time of uncertainty, it's really important to keep that creativeness alive and think of ways we can use that to come up with solutions to get us through. And who knows? Maybe, when this is all over, we can organise some sort of 'real-life' exhibition," said the group over email.

At Central Saint Martins, where over 1000 students have already signed a petition to save their graduate exhibition, @nearlypublish is a virtual publishing house that originally began as a project that aimed to explore the "Social interaction within public spaces." Under the current circumstances, founders Abbie Lilley and Lili Phillips have dedicated the project to spotlight the work of their fellow graphic design students. As well as creating a website that will "house an additional live archive," the pair have long term plans for the project: "In both our practices, we gravitate towards printed matter," say the pair. "We are currently discussing the idea of a book which would become a tangible preservation of our time around the world whilst at CSM."

London menswear designer Rory Parnell Mooney has called for fellow designers and fashion industry insiders to dedicate a fragment of their time over the upcoming weeks to offer virtual tutorials for students completing their studies. "This comes at a point where most final years are coming back after Easter and are just making the collection, so all the patterns are probably done and the fabrics bought," he says. "Maybe some big designers could have a really positive formative effect on a graduate student, like maybe something good can come from all this?"

Although within less than a week, the idea for many students into how their university experience would end has seemingly shattered through no fault of their own, an underlying sense of optimism can't be shaken. "Maybe this is the time where pure talent will come through again. I think people who have a sense of visual communication and storytelling will do very well now " says CSM fashion design and marketing student Laura Tanzer. Getting through art school is tough enough on a regular basis, never mind doing it within a pandemic. Though one thing undergoing a creative degree has taught you is to be resilient. You've jumped over many hurdles before, don't let yourself stumble at the last one.

Students are unable to access their studios or workshop facilities, unable to complete work for the virtual show...disadvantages for students who are not working in digital formats or have little digital skills

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Royal College of Art (RCA) is facing a backlash from thousands of students and artists over the decision to make its graduate show online-only for the first time ever due to the coronavirus pandemic.

More than 4,500 people, including Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Leckey, have signed a petition calling on the RCA to suspend its programmes and postpone the exhibition until it is safe to return to the college.

The students behind the petition, who wish to remain anonymous, said RCA had decided to hold a virtual exhibition without consulting those due to graduate this summer.

They added that final year-students were currently unable to access their studios or workshop facilities at the college, meaning they were unable to complete work for the virtual show.

The students called on the college to postpone all education until it was safe to return to the studios, with a guarantee that the show would be held at a future date, whether later this summer or in a year's time. "They should promise to fulfil their agreement with us, rather than getting rid of us quickly in order to get the next cohort in," they said in a statement.

One contemporary art student said it would be a huge disappointment to be unable to stage her work in a real life exhibition "after two years of work, taking on thousands of pounds in loans, and working side-jobs around the clock in order to realise it".

She said her degree show work - a room-sized video and virtual-reality installation of an estate agent for property on a floating island to escape an apocalypse - required the audience to physically engage with it in a way "impossible to simulate online".

A painting student added: "A lot of my work is installed in unusual ways or not even on the wall. The idea of a virtual show is ridiculous to those of us who don't work in digital media, ie the great majority of students."

Leckey called on the RCA to postpone its graduate show, adding that a virtual exhibition could not replicate the experience of seeing the work in person. "All that student debt accrued only to be frustrated by a false equivalence," he said. "Just postpone the show like the other colleges have."

Artist and RCA alumnus Tim Stoner said the RCA's decision to hold a virtual show was "an utter disgrace". In an Instagram post he accused the college of treating the students appallingly, adding: "Denying this year's artists the opportunity to experience what EVERY student in the past has done is cheating them out of one of the most important things the college offers."

But artist Ryan Gander said: "There are a lot of hardships at the moment for a lot of people, real hardships. For me only having a degree show online might be a shame but it's not a real hardship."

A spokesman for the RCA said it had assessed the possibility of deferring the show until September or October but decided "this was not realistically feasible".

"One significant difficulty is that many students will be unable to stay in London for that extended period," he added. "To commit them to the significant additional costs that would be involved, and further costs to return to London in the future with the present level of uncertainty seems unreasonable. The latest reports from the World Health Organisation and others suggest that life will not have returned to normal by September."

The University of the Arts London announced today that there would be an online exhibition of students work this summer, followed by a physical show later in the year, "subject to the public emergency" over the pandemic.

For most art and design school students, the crowning moment of their educational careers spent tirelessly refining their practice is a public spectacle -- an open exhibition, or a fashion show, for example. It's the opportunity for students to reveal work that's been years in the making to a wide audience, comprised of both industry professionals and the general public alike. And for some, it will serve as the launching pad for life-long careers.

Previously, we've reported on how fashion students around the world were facing up to having the climactic moment of their school days denied them by the current pandemic, as well as on the grassroots initiatives set up to help them continue their learning during this time. How they will present their work has, however, remained an anomaly.

But while the physical experience of a graduate show or exhibition may be tricky to replicate, with the digital tools we have at our disposal, there are steps that we can take to help give this year's art and design school graduates the showcase they deserve.

Accordingly, we're proud to announce that we're partnering with ARTSTHREAD to launch the Global Design Graduate Show 2020. Open to any emerging creatives due to graduate this year (2019-20), in any art and design undergraduate or postgraduate discipline, and wherever they are in the world; final year students will be invited to submit their work for consideration by a panel of industry experts. As well as your final looks, we'll also be assessing your concept and creative process portfolios -- the journey is just as exciting as the destination, after all -- with the work of those selected to be exhibited on a dedicated section of the ARTSTHREAD website.

"We're truly honoured to partner with ARTSTHREAD on this initiative," says i-D's Editor in Chief Alastair McKimm. "Each year, the talent emerging from art schools around the world inspires fresh hope for the future of our creative industries. While current circumstances might not allow for graduate exhibitions and shows in their typical formats, it's more important than ever that we use the resources at our disposal to share their work with the world."

Excited? You should be! Keep your eyes peeled for more info on the different categories and how to take part soon...
