TUS Athlone Animation and Illustration Showcase is opening on: Thursday May 21st at TUS Athlone Engineering Building Z-Atrium .

We are delighted to present the work of the 2026 BA (Hons) in Animation & Illustration graduating class. This year’s group has produced an exciting collection of original work, spanning animation, illustration, sculpture, painting, modelling and model-making.

Each body of work reflects the students’ individual interests and perspectives, drawing inspiration from the world around them while exploring storytelling in all its forms. Their distinctive approaches highlight both technical skill and creative voice resulting in a compelling and varied exhibition.
