Throughout Retreat to Create David will immerse himself in campus life and meet students, staff, and the local community along the way.

As well as creating a large-scale neon mural, he’ll share his expertise and experience through interactive masterclasses with students, a keynote speech in the award-winning Faculty of Arts building (FAB), and community visits. He’ll also record an episode of his #1 podcast, Creative RebelsLink opens in a new window, in Warwick Arts Centre in front of a live audience with special guests from the Warwick and creative communities.

Retreat to Create celebrates Warwick’s past and present and highlights its future as a hub for creativity and collaboration.

The project will stand as a visual legacy of our 60th anniversary, celebrating our shared values and the power of art to bring people together.

The word ‘creativity’ is overused and under-defined, it’s been turned into an ethereal concept, reserved for the artistic. But it’s a very real resource that everyone can and should access. When you understand how to unlock your creative brain, you can transform your life.

Open to staff and students!
