Digital Creativity Week 2023

Posted on 27 February 2023

Digital Creativity Week is a week-long event for students to work with digital and creative technologies, explore archival material and research, and develop skills, culminating in the creation of digital artefacts for an exhibition celebrating the University of York campus and collections.

What is it?

Digital Creativity Week

This year, Digital Creativity Week will be exploring the University of York Art Collection and the University's own campus and physical/digital spaces. Using material not only from the University Art Collection, but also from the Borthwick Institute for Archives and York Minster Library, participants will work with staff from across the University's Library, Archives and Learning Services to get hands-on with cutting edge technologies, including immersive technologies in the Creativity Lab in the Library. Participants will try out creative skills and ideas outside of an academic discipline, developing interests in areas of digital creation, communication, and public engagement. 

Digital Creativity Week is open to students and postgraduate researchers at the University of York at all levels of study and across all subjects. See our Digital Creativity Practical Guide for more on getting involved with digital creativity.

When is it?

Digital Creativity Week 2023 takes place from Monday 12 to Friday 16 June, with an exhibition event on Wednesday 21 June. Each day runs from 9am to 4pm, with a combination of face-to-face workshops, activities, and time for working on your own creations.
