The School also mounts exhibitions, including the annual Degree Show which showcases the work of students on its programmes.HistoryGray's was founded in 1885 as Gray's School of Science and Art, in recognition of the generosity of its founding father, John Gray, a local businessman and philanthropist. He began as a carpenter but rose through the ranks to become a partner in McKinnon & Co., a firm of engineers and iron founders in Aberdeen. In 1859 he was appointed director of the Aberdeen Mechanics Institution, one of the city institutions which would eventually develop into The Robert Gordon University.
