Brunel Creates is a month-long celebration of creativity across our campus community brining together students, staff, alumni and partners for a vibrant programme of music performances, theatre, film screenings, exhibitions, lectures and panel discussions. Many of the events are connected to student work and assessment across Arts and Humanities, offering a unique opportunity to experience the creativity and talent emerging from our classrooms, studios and rehearsal spaces.
Alongside student showcases, the Festival will feature special events with alumni and visiting artists, highlighting the breadth of Brunel’s creative community. Brunel Creates aims to celebrate artistic expression across disciplines while opening our campus to wider conversations about culture, creativity and ideas.
