Origins Creatives

Celebrating the next generation of UAL Awarding Body creatives.

UAL Awarding Body’s annual celebration of student achievement, Origins Creatives, is back for 2025! We are thrilled to be once again hosting the Origins Creatives exhibition at the prestigious Mall Galleries in Central London, from 15–19 July 2025.

Origins Creatives is an opportunity for students, teachers and families to come together and celebrate student creativity and hard work. It brings together student work from across the UAL subject areas of Art and Design, Fashion Business and Retail, Creative Media, Music Performance and Production, Performing Arts, Entry Level 3 in Art and Design and Performing Arts, Professional Diplomas, and the Extended Project Qualification.

Last year, we were delighted to see over 2,500 people take the time to visit the exhibition in July. The visitors got to see over 150 pieces of works by the incredibly talented UAL Awarding Body students.
