Course overview
Students will be introduced to the Creative Arts, exploring frameworks to better understand the arts and cultural industries, and careers within these.

By examining the nexus of artist, funding body, company, audience, government, economy and society, and critically reflecting on their own place within this nexus, students will gain important skills for project-planning, problem solving, and creative innovation.
