The North East's only specialist art school
Creativity grows in Hartlepool, home to The Northern School of Art.
The Northern School of Art has been shaping creative education in Hartlepool since 1873, when the Government School of Art was established in the town.
Hartlepool became a permanent home for higher-level creative study in the late 1960s, when the purpose-built College of Art and Design opened in Church Square.
Today the School is home to undergraduate and postgraduate courses, helping students refine their practice and prepare for careers in the creative industries, with graduates including Sir Ridley Scott and Mackenzie Thorpe.
