The HGB invites you to the Diploma Tour, which shows the final projects of this year's graduates. Visitors can look forward to exhibitions throughout the Academy building. Works by over 70 graduates in painting/graphics, photography, book art/graphic design and media art can be seen in around 20 exhibition rooms, organized by the graduates together with Ilse Lafer (Head of the HGB Gallery).

On the opening day, the HGB will once again celebrate its traditional summer party, which this year will be organized by media art students. The program includes live acts and DJ sets by and with HGB students, bars and food (see below).

Prof. Tina Bara and Sandra Schubert's photography and moving image class will be presenting the exhibition States of uncertain domesticities in the inner courtyard.
