Exhibition Road Family Party Day
Sunday 17 June, 12–9pm

Join the RCA and other organisations on and around Exhibition Road for an action-packed day of animal-themed family events and 150th birthday celebrations. As part of the day the RCA has invited Sculpture graduate Stephanie Quayle to be artist-in-residence in The Great Exhibition tent. She will be available to talk about her work and will be using the space to produce new work.

There will also be Safari in the Tent; a creative worksheet for families to explore the show looking out for animal related work. For more information about Family Day events in the area visit

Design For Our Future Selves Awards 2007

Organised by the Royal College of Art Helen Hamlyn Centre

This inclusive design award scheme aims to encourage graduating RCA students to engage with social issues and test their ideas with users. Designers, architects and communication artists were asked to submit a project that addresses a social issue or engages with a particular social group in order to improve independence, mobility, health or working life. From 102 projects submitted this year by students from ten different RCA departments, the final shortlist comprises 26 projects. The awards will be announced on Tuesday 26 June. A screen presentation will be shown in The Great Exhibition tent featuring the finalists and a special poster-publication on the awards is available from the information desk.

The Conran Foundation Awards 2007

Since its very first initiative in 1981, the Boilerhouse Project at the V&A, the Conran Foundation has supported activities that engage and inform specialist and non-specialist audiences about both the cultural impact of design and its commercial importance: design for quality of life.

With its Awards to the College graduates the Conran Foundation is looking to reward good design which will have a positive impact on the way people feel, think and live, as well as on the national and international economic situation; the overall message being that commercial success and cultural impact are intertwined.

The Awards are open to our Design, Fine Art and Applied Art graduates. In 2007 six Awards of £2,000 each will be announced by the Conran Foundation and presented to the six winners by Sir Terence Conran on the evening of 28 June 2007.
