CREATIVE FUTURES ACADEMY
A groundbreaking partnership between three leading creative institutions – the National College of Art and Design (NCAD), University College Dublin (UCD), and the Institute of Art Design + Technology (IADT) – Creative Futures Academy (CFA) is a new approach to higher education. Across state-of-the-art facilities, CFA offers bite-sized, part and full-time accredited courses in flexible, hybrid formats (online and in person) for practising artists and creative professionals looking to upskill in arts, media and design. These new, accessible programmes reflect a dynamic and rapidly-advancing industry, and draw from a deep understanding of the creative sector.
CFA offers a host of highly-experienced CFA academics, contributors and guests including Director of the Dublin International Film Festival, Gráinne Humphreys; leading art practitioners Seoidín O’Sullivan, Lucia Pietroiusti and Banu Cennetoglu; music producer and composer Lance Hogan; circularity designer Gwen Cunningham and cultural producer Jennie Moran for Creative Hospitalities; as well as artists-in-residence, ThisIsPopBaby’s Jenny Jennings, actor/screenwriter Mark O’Halloran, and musician Donal Lunny.
