MiAL is increasingly recognised and respected as the trusted, quality platform for buying art and
design from UAL’s emerging artists. International art collectors and design buyers have sourced art
and design from Made in Arts London and industry experts from a wide range of specialisms are
working with us to guide, advise and actively promote UAL students and graduates, helping them find
their feet in an increasingly competitive environment.
“Bigger, Brighter, Bolder” is a survey of work from the curated selections made by MiAL’s invited
independent panels. All art and design sold by MiAL is created exclusively by either our current
students or recent graduates, and picked by a panel of industry experts and successful independent
artists and designers who meet quarterly to select the next MiAL Collection. This panel changes with
each new collection in order to ensure our offer is fresh and relevant and to continue to grow our
knowledge and expertise. Previous panelists have included; Angus Montgomery, Editor of Design
Week, Tom Jeffreys, (Art Critic and Curator), Design Duo Tatty Devine and Tyler Woolcott (Director,
Rowing Gallery), Rheanna Lingham (Director, Luna & Curious) and Anna Castleton-Simmons (Arts
PR and UAL) for the MiAL Spring 2014 Collection.
Three of the exhibiting artists in “Bigger, Brighter, Bolder” are Catlin Art Prize shortlisted artists;
Sarah Fortais (2014), Lara Morrell (2014) and Conal McAteer (2013). Catlin Art Prize Shortlists are
selected from The Catlin Guide 2014, a limited edition publication, widely recognised as the essential
reference for collectors of emerging artists.
'Made in Arts London is a great initiative, which supports students and
graduates at a crucial time in their career.’
