What a magical opening night
Celebrating our 50th Graduate Showcase and what a way to mark it surrounded by so many familiar faces. Past staff, past students… one of the best things about this place is that no matter how long you’ve been away, you can always come back and feel part of it again. That sense of community hasn’t changed in 50 years, and you could really feel it on the night. So many stories, memories, and moments shared from studying Graphic Design in Athlone.

Huge congratulations to all of our graduates.
From those early, sometimes quiet beginnings to the confident designers you are today, what a journey. The exhibition is full of incredible work, the team are so proud of each of you.
A very special moment welcoming back our own graduate, Táine King, who officially opened the show. Táine has built an amazing career in the film industry, working as an Art Director with Ridley Scott on House of Gucci and Napoleon.
Her opening speech was incredibly inspiring sharing how her time in Athlone gave her the foundation, confidence, and mindset to build her career. A great reminder to our students that everything they’ve learned here will carry them forward.
And this is just the beginning…
Last night marked the start of our 50th celebrations, keep an eye on socials for what’s coming next 👀
Big thanks to our Year 2 student
