Image if you were a design student graduate trying to break into the competitive design industry. What would you do to promote yourself and how would you go about securing a job?
Fortunately this is something that UK based website Arts Thread has thought about, offering “a trend driven online educational tool with a strong graphic identity designed to connect Industry, universities/schools and students worldwide, exclusively within the field of design.”
Some of the services that Arts Thread offers include university course information for prospective students, an online portfolio for existing students, inspiration through listings of global art and design exhibitions, student/graduate shows and design trade fairs as well as a magazine featuring student’s work and trend info.
Arts Thread also assists industry employers seeking talented graduates: “For the first time ever the Global Creative Industry can locate the key university/college courses and view portfolios of the top talent among graduates worldwide with just a few clicks of the mouse.”
I have been fortunate to be involved with Arts Thread, offering a Melbourne perspective through the shows and exhibitions I have attended and written articles on. My latest article is on the ‘til you drop: shopping – a Melbourne history exhibition, at the State Library of Victoria until 31st October.

If you haven’t been to this exhibition yet, then where have you been??? Just kidding, but it is highly recommended. Everyone will learn something from this well researched and executed exhibition, especially a better understanding and appreciation of Melbourne’s role in the history of shopping.

for more details.
Please contact me if you are hosting or know of any other art and design exhibitions coming up in Melbourne.
