Fife College students are inviting industry professionals, university representatives, and creative partners to a special Industry Breakfast event as part of their 2026 ‘When Art Builds’ end-of-year exhibition.
The exhibition will officially launch on Monday, 8 June, with a special opening night for students’ friends and family, before running until Friday, 12 June at the College’s Kirkcaldy Campus, showcasing the work, innovation, and achievements of students across a range of creative and built environment disciplines.
A key highlight of the week will be the Industry Breakfast on Tuesday, 9 June, from 9.00 am to 11.00 am, which will offer guests the opportunity to explore student work, engage directly with learners, and connect with emerging talent entering the creative and construction sectors.
An annual tradition, the end-of-year show provides a platform for students to present their innovative projects, creative designs, and technical achievements while also fostering connections with local industry leaders.
Free and open to the public, 'When Art Builds' will feature work from students across Art, Furniture, Jewellery, 3D Interior Design, Quantity Surveying, and Architectural Technology.
Designed to strengthen links between education and industry, the Industry Breakfast will encourage conversation, collaboration, and networking between students, employers, universities, and creative professionals.
Attendees will gain insight into the creative processes, technical skills, and innovative thinking being developed by students as they prepare to progress into further study and professional careers.
