What does a creative future actually look like?
At JMC, it sounds like music spilling out of a studio, storyboards pinned to a wall, motion graphics lighting up a screen and students collaborating across disciplines to bring ideas to life!
This May, we’re opening our campus doors once again for JMC’s national Creative Open Days, inviting all future artists to step inside our world and experience the environment where the best ideas begin. Returning across the country, our Creative Open Days give future students, curious minds and aspiring creatives the chance to explore our campuses, meet our community and discover what studying at JMC is really like!
