The Northern Creative Network (TNCN) is run by The Northern School of Art as part of its mission to promote teaching and participation in the creative subjects so that there is a secure talent pipeline to meet the needs of a growing and diverse industry.

It provides CPD sessions and short courses for teachers and advisers (both online and in-person); industry insight events which includes a weekly programme of industry speaker webinars; IAG information, specifically targeting any knowledge gaps of specific sectors e.g. stage & screen industries; networking platform for both education and creative culture sectors and masterclasses in techniques and other bespoke services.

TNCN forms part of the School’s wider suite of outreach work to provide a range of activities and interventions to help school’s enable young people to develop their creative and cultural capital. Our activities encompass both light-touch, such as one-off masterclasses/workshops,  to more intense levels of engagement like the year-long Saturday Club participation.
