Abstract
This reflection argues that creative education is essential civic infrastructure. Drawing on sessions at GLAD 2025 Symposium 'Where Art School Leads', hosted by Nottingham Trent University on Friday 5th September 2025. The reflection examines language, employability, and generative artificial intelligence (AI) in relation to practice, equity and sustainability, and concludes with implications for curriculum, assessment and sector advocacy.
