Great minds don’t think alike. They innovate and advocate, they disrupt and inspire, and they do it all on their own terms. They’re the visionaries and the pioneers — the boldest, the bravest, and the brightest.
The Great Minds series is designed to entertain, inspire, and stir imaginations. Featuring distinguished thinkers, leaders, and innovators from every discipline and culture, Great Minds is a series for curious souls in search of a deeper understanding of the world.
Great Minds is brought to you by Nottingham Trent University’s arts programme, Curated & Created.
Reserve your place and be part of the first event of the Great Minds series.
Curated & Created
From classical music and creative writing to contemporary art and comedy, Curated & Created offers a dazzlingly diverse programme of events, workshops and activities for all to enjoy.
With a fabulous range of opportunities — including many that are open to the public for free — Curated & Created is your gateway to Nottingham’s thriving arts and culture scene.
