Professional Practice - LifeWorkArt
Integrated with the studio practice and running progressively throughout the four years of the degree is a unique professional development program – LifeWorkArt. Run in collaboration with many local and national arts organisations and galleries such as the Baltic, the Globe, Allenheads Contemporary Arts and Arts Council North East, this program gives students a vital insight into a broad range of professional arts based practices and potential career paths. Skills are developed through live projects– exhibitions, placements, public art, collaborations, and residencies.
Students regularly arrange exhibitions and events within the department and at external venues. The final year includes a conference which considers opportunities and prospects following graduation and is held in conjunction with other universities, galleries and organisations in the region.
