Placement Information

Nottingham Contemporary (formerly known as the Centre for Contemporary Art Nottingham (CCAN) is a contemporary art centre in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, on a site said to be the oldest in the city.To celebrate the area's history of lace manufacture, the cladding of the building is embossed with a traditional Nottingham lace pattern.

 

 

Accommodation

I stayed in my student accommodation, just outside of the city centre.

 

 

Transport

There are many buses that run to the city and throughout, however because I live just a 10 minute walk from the city center, I walked to the Contemporary as it is central to the city's location.

 

 

Social life

There are many things to do in Nottingham, it is well know for it's shopping. Likewise the City's nightlife is good fun, from bars and restaurants to mini golf and the cinema.

 

 

Things to do, things not to do

Everyone at the Contemporary was really helpful and made me feel welcome, so there weren't any do's or don'ts therefore I would only advise to be punctual, polite and just remember that you are there on placement. Also when sitting in on different sessions, it helps to be open minded and to engage in conversation with everyone because it will benefit you in the long run with this course.

Before you go

I would advise arranging a meeting with Amanda prior to placement to discuss what you want to achieve from the placement. I did this and found it extremely helpful.
