About Us

Professor Eric Cross, Director of NICAP

The Newcastle Institute for Creative Arts Practice (NICAP) is a hub for the creative arts at Newcastle University. It stimulates interaction between our creative practitioners and showcases their work, exploring ideas and challenging perceived boundaries between academic disciplines.

Our People
As creative innovators, our students bring varied international perspectives to creative practice. Our staff are acclaimed artists, composers, performers, film makers, writers, curators, architects, creative entrepreneurs and thinkers.

Our Creative Practice and Research
Much of our creative practice and research has been judged as world-leading or internationally excellent in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise.
