Creative Futures Academy offers more than just an opportunity to upskill – it’s a chance to redefine what’s possible in your creative career, unlock hidden talents, and gain fresh new perspectives…

Creative Futures Academy (CFA) is offering artists and creative practitioners the opportunity to upskill in a wide array of disciplines – from the latest digital technologies and climate-conscious practices, to creative diversity and research.

A groundbreaking partnership between the National College of Art and Design (NCAD), University College Dublin (UCD), and the Institute of Art Design + Technology (IADT), CFA provides short, accredited courses that are specially designed to fit into the busy schedules of creative professionals, in addition to Master’s programmes. That means you can gain new insights, master new techniques, and connect with a network of like-minded creatives without having to put your own projects on hold.
