HKU Exposure is a dazzling festival with art of all disciplines, from fine art to games, from design to film, and from music to theatre. Hundreds of young creative talents present their work to the general public across the heart of Utrecht. Work that comments on the world of today, and incites conversation. That literally speaks to the imagination and invites you to contemplate. Be surprised and amazed by the new ideas, perspectives and narratives that these graduates present, at various locations across the city.
HKU Exposure
Exposure is HKU’s graduation festival. From 24 to 28 June 2026 our fresh graduates from all art disciplines proudly displayed their works at various locations across Utrecht. Due to the persistent heat, we were forced to adjust the programming for this edition. And thus, the best is yet to come: on Friday 3 July (11.00 - 21.00) and Saturday 4 July (11.00 - 19.00) the graduation works of HKU Media can be enjoyed at location Oudenoord.
