The University for the Creative Arts (UCA) is one of the UK's leading providers of specialist art and design education, offering strengths in art, design, architecture, media and communication. For the Creative Campus Initiative, UCA will be presenting eight projects spread across its five campuses.
The projects will predominantly focus on contemporary visual and participatory arts and will be presented within UCA gallery spaces across the campuses as well as in situ where projects happen.
