International Graduates from UK Art & Design Courses   The common themes expressed by all the young artists on these pages concern the sense of freedom and personal development that the UK art education system offered them and the support, encouragement and understanding they received from their fellow students and tutors.  The cultural community they join in the UK is welcoming and supportive and is itself enriched and privilaged by their presence, by the creative and cultural contributions that they make.
