Professor Sarah Glennie ∙ Director

NCAD WORKS 2025 provides a portal to the full breadth of work by our extraordinary graduates from across our four schools of Fine Art, Design, Education, and Visual Culture and encompasses students graduating from our broad range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and CEAD programmes.

We are extremely proud of this year’s graduating students who each in different  ways demonstrate NCAD’s belief in the vital contribution that creative practice makes to our society as a force that creates space for care, reflection, innovation and new thinking—all of which are essential to a cohesive and dynamic society and economy. 

NCAD’s graduates are the pipeline that drive Ireland’s creative and cultural sectors and their work will have an impact across society in years to come. 

Their own lived experience of our complex world is central to our graduates’ work.  As part of their journey, NCAD students have the opportunity to develop their creative practice beyond the walls of campus through long-term engagements with community partners and collaborators in a range of settings.  These collaborations expand their experience and understanding of key societal issues such as housing, cultural identity and social cohesion and climate crises, and are reflected in their final projects.

The work of this generation of NCAD students not only provides critical insights into society today, but also reminds us that the possibility of transformation exists with fresh, solution-focused thinking. Their creativity reinforces the power of art and design to influence and inspire real change. 

We hope you enjoy this digital experience of the work of our extraordinary graduates. 

We are extremely proud of all that they have achieved, and we look forward to following their creative journeys in the future.

Sculpture & Expanded Practice

The Department of Sculpture & Expanded Practice at NCAD has a reputation for producing exciting and innovative artists who, in a range of creative fields, go on to achieve successful and high profile careers.

What is Sculpture?

When something is sculptural it is different from something pictorial. Sculpture inhabits/ occupies space and you can usually look at it in the round, or it can surround you in an installation. In NCAD it is viewed as the creative language of space, time, structure and physical things that tell the world of its endless possibilities. The logic of sculpture emerges from touch, a feel for materials, from performance, theatre, cinema and architecture and an engagement with living environments. Sculpture’s poetic language is often made from elements that have been shaped by social and economic forces.

What is Expanded Practice?

Expanded Practice is an umbrella term for a wide range of diverse art practices that have become mainstream since the 1960s including land art, conceptual art, performance art, participatory and socially engaged art, sound art, the list goes on...
