Explore the inspiring work of our graduating students in architecture, design, film, art and media! The Aalto ARTS Grad Show brings together a wide selection of final theses and student projects from all over the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture. It covers a broad range of topics, from imagining possible futures, offering critiques on our current reality to showcasing exceptional craftmanship. Aalto ARTS students are asking: what is art & design, how is it contributing to society and what should it be doing?

We educate the next generation of designers, architects, artists and art educators, photographers, filmmakers and researchers to impact society through their creative work and research.
