A UNIVERSITY is organising a reunion to inspire future art graduates.

Staff at Sunderland University are searching for former art students to put on a special show "Friends Reunited 1996-2001" at the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art, in the Sunderland Library and Arts Centre next June.

The exhibition will coincide with the university's popular final year Degree Show - and it is hoped that the success of Sunderland's art graduates will inspire a new generation of students. The university is looking for graduates from 1996 to 2001 in fine art, photography, digital media, design, glass and performing arts.

Anyone interested is asked to contact 0191-515 2128 by January 17.
