This Fine Art course creates opportunities to work across disciplines with the principal ambition of driving positive social change and impact in Nottingham, regionally and beyond. The course provides opportunities to build sustainable markets, grow communities and develop projects through core activities and initiatives that spill out of the studio and into the city, where art connects with people, places and ideas.Through our involvement in Artists Access to Art Schools, a nationwide programme that connects art schools with local and regional talent, the course builds relationships with professional artists and artistic producers. Students work directly with these practitioners to gain valuable experience, skills and knowledge.The ongoing curatorial projects and events that are platformed in the industry focused Design and Digital Arts resource also feature strongly in this career focused, flexible curriculum. The course is unique in providing professional standard resources and workshops, impactful research and staff expertise in both emerging technologies and analogue haptic production methods.Our curriculum is built around the merging of these disciplines, from clay to code, and their critical application in professional, real-world contexts with the core aim of supporting and sustaining Nottingham's creative economy. Through our partnerships with both established and grassroots city organisations and richly diverse communities, this course is a core component of a thriving city arts scene in which our students learn, live and work.**Key features**- Gain hands-on industry experience: You’ll have the opportunity to complete a work experience placement of up to a year in length.
