With visitor numbers typically reaching 15,000, the annual show offers exhibits, installations, interactive displays, films, performance and literary readings representing the work of over 500 final year students.
Visitors to previous shows have been impressed. One wrote: "Awesome work. No doubt about where I want to do my MA now. Wish we'd had that kind of freedom on my course."
Visitors can view and purchase work produced by the latest rising stars – graduates from recent years have featured in the art and design press nationally and internationally, and have enjoyed residencies at the Design Museum, prizes from institutions such as the Royal Institute of British Architects, and many prestigious contracts and awards.
Among this year's exhibitors are:
Fine artist Charlie Schaffer whose oil portrait Antonio recently won the Painter Stainer's £2,500 young artist award.
Tamsyn Mathew and Megan Courtis, whose multi-lingual installation Gibigianni uses lights and mirrors to tell the story of one man's memory of landscapes. They are on the performance and visual art-theatre course.
Megan Dawkins who has curated the ArtFare exhibition, along with 12 fellow students, which will take place on local buses and is part of her final project for her fine art critical practice course.
Fashion with business studies student Stephanie Bartlett whose final collection is described as "a wardrobe for wanderers and explorers" and has worked at Vivienne Westwood.
Design and craft student Kamila Milczarek who has created silver, copper and brass seed carriers which were inspired by the Millennium Seed Bank at West Sussex's Wakehurst Place.
This year will bring additional attractions in the grounds of the Faculty of Arts, including eco-architecture project The Brighton Waste House – built from waste material including old toothbrushes and thrown-away wood – part of the university's plans to further develop its city centre campuses to become a major contributor to Brighton's cultural scene.
