About
The Centre for Rural Creativity, University of the Highlands and Islands, is an interdisciplinary research centre that focuses on the creative industries beyond the ‘creative cities’ paradigm, recognising the economic and social role of the creative industries in remote, rural and coastal areas. The MA programme, Art and Social Practice, offers focused provision enabling students to develop an appropriate level of knowledge and research to inform practical work, together with the critical and analytical processes and technical skills required to effectively deliver a project in the public domain. Uniquely, the programme sits within the research centre, and while participants are not restricted to engaging with rural places and communities, nonetheless UHI’s expertise in the strengths and needs of artists working in rural contexts will be of particular value to those pursuing socially engaged art beyond the city, including those whose specialist interests include place-specific concerns
Local Information
