The two-week-long event celebrates emerging artistic talent from within the university and gives students a chance to exhibit their work and perform in front of the public.
A range of events will be held, including talks from award winning writers Mandy Wheeler and Luke Sorba, live poetry performances and art exhibitions.
Professor Matthew Cragoe, head of the College of Arts, said: “This festival celebrates our students’ creativity through shows, exhibitions and performances, as well as one-off events.
“I hope people will find it inspiring and delightful, but above all, provocative and challenging.”
