Master students of the Department of Applied Arts at Study program - Graphic Design exhibited their works at the Gallery of Contemporary Art (Pavilion in the Fortress), from 12th to 22nd July 2013. "The exhibition of works of students of Master’s degree program at the study group - Graphic Design at the Faculty of Arts in Niš is in itself a sublimate of externally achieved experience and understanding of graphic design through the life of the authors. Reading of these works is a process that is based on understanding of the sensory-perceptual experiences that open the way to a very elementary convention in the scope of graphic communications, environmental graphics and posters. The works of these young authors prove that the idea of artistic work is more articulated by the present life situation and the language of graphic communication is increasingly replaced by the word. Seeking after a new form, these authors establish new relations to the well-known form and they are ready to move these relations, to overlap them, to make them more difficult and to place them into a new context. They reflect the chance to create new out of the achieved in the field of graphic design, from which arises the belief that there is no crisis in the arts. Students of Master’s degree program at the study group - Graphic Design at the Faculty of Arts in Niš in 2013 are: Željko Blagojević, Milan Dejanović, Marijana Milojević, Aleksandar Milenković, Milan Stefanović, Miljan Radenković and Andrea Zafirović."

Opening of the exhibition of posters made by students of the Department of Applied Arts at the Faculty of Arts in Niš was held on Thursday, 20th June 2013. in the Gallery - Association of Architects of Niš. The exhibition presented works by students of the third and fourth year at the Undergraduate Academic studies and students at the Master Academic studies in Graphic design study program. "If it can be said that something is first looked at and then read, the poster as a form of graphic design, is ideal for confirmation of this thesis. In everyday life we constantly observe, evaluate and analyze a large number of messages, but only a few of them we remember. We remember those that visually “grabbed” us. That was the criterion for the selection of posters made by students at the third and fourth year of the Undergraduate Academic studies, and Master Academic studies at the Department of Applied Arts. The works in the exhibition with their impressibility and intrigue lead us to think how the message is created, developed and formed. These young artists transpose the content in an original and innovative way, while the diversity in solving visual problems is full of freshness and sincerity. The limited area still gives the freedom to express personal preference through a combination of photography, illustration and typography. Some of the works represent the answers to some issues that plague modern men. Their visual narrative form helps the viewer to become more aware of the surrounding and the behavior from personal to social level. Experimenting with different media often leads to effective, unusual and different results. Graphic design is often thought to be a process of beautifying. However, the work of a graphic designer is often complex, analytical and not just related to the aesthetic experience. The exhibition provides an overview of possible solutions to the tasks which the students were dwelling during the course of their studies, at the subject - Poster. These are the answers of young people who react in a mature, authentic and energetic way. Communication with the audience is different, often, in accordance with the sensibility, preferences and beliefs. Designers have the opportunity to focus the public's attention, to persuade, influence emotions and attitudes, and ultimately to enrich visual culture. Students of the Department of Graphic Design will surely take advantage of this opportunity." Slavica Dragosavac, MA, Assistant Professor

"The exchange" is part of the celebration of the Edict of Milan and a way of strengthening relationship between York and Niš. 24 (Department of Music, University of York, England), conducted by prof. dr William Brooks, and the Faculty of Arts, University of Niš, with the dean prof. dr Suzana Kostić, organized and coordinated the cooperation in the exchange of musical expression, mutually presenting music programs in two cities, in Niš, Serbia, and in York, England. The aim of this joint presentation of young artists is that young people present themselves as promoters of universal human values and as the best messengers of contemporary meanings of messages of Edict of Tolerance. Messages of tolerance can be expressed through various forms of social representation. One of the ways is the common musical performance by cities that are in a historical and civilizational way related to the Emperor Constantine. The thread that binds these two cities is certainly the main driver of cultural connection among students, i.e. young artists.
