Centre for Research in Arts and Creative Exchange

CRACE is a dynamic place for researchers to develop and rigorously nurture their craft professionally. It is a hub for experts in arts and creative practices at all stages of their career, whether world-leading, nationally recognised, or emerging leaders of the future. With diverse approaches to research, CRACE advocates for understanding the world through different perspectives and recognises the value that the arts and creative industries brings to our understanding of ourselves and the societies in which we live.  

In acknowledging that the arts and creative practices can be of value, CRACE is clear that research does not exist solely for the academic community. We have a responsibility to the industries and sectors locally, nationally, and internationally that give inspiration to, and come into dialogue with, our research and knowledge exchange, as well as with our students. In creative exchange with sector and industry organisations, CRACE aims to be a supportive player in the arts and creative industries ecosystem, offering its skills, understanding, and institutional capacity to the development of knowledge, creativity, and innovation.
