The placements will provide artists with the chance to undertake research or work on a project using the University’s workshops and supporting facilities for up to 100 hours. It also benefits students through their interaction with practicing Creatives during their studies.  

The School proudly boasts a range of facilities and equipment suitable to support printmaking, ceramics, digital media, performance, photography, painting, plus many more fine art practices.

A previous Loughborough AA2A creative commented: “The best part of AA2A was the opportunity to access workshops, where technical tutors were so generous with their ideas and suggestions, and the sharing of skills. They made me feel so welcome. Being on AA2A has helped raise my profile and enabled me to work on collaborative projects with university researchers."

More information about the scheme – as well as profiles of previous artists who have undertaken their AA2A placement at the University – can be found here.
