Falmouth hosts international art and design conference

University College Falmouth (UCF) welcomed delegates from Australia, China, Poland, Japan, Italy and Malaysia to the Association of International Art & Design Schools (AIAS) 2009 conference.
For this year’s conference theme, the relationship between the visual arts and ecological thinking, Falmouth was selected and hosted a week-long event that included workshops, symposium and meetings by the AIAS. This organization seeks to promote the internationalization of arts education through strengthening contacts between the participating institutions.
Each of the institutions taking part in this event presented their best art and design graduate for the Prize of Honour Exhibition. Laura Culham, a student from University College Falmouth, was awarded with the Annual Prize of Honour of the International Association of Independent Art Schools.
