Nic Golightly (b. 1983, East Yorkshire) is a multidisciplinary creative working across design, illustration and social practice. This holistic approach is forward-facing and collaborative, working with diverse communities.

Golightly explores stealing and motherhood, engaging play as a form of therapy. She creates a generative space devoid of expectation and failure. The practice is studio-based and collaborative, taking place in schools, colleges, prisons, galleries, with local authorities and community-led organisations.

Golightly is an Associate Artist with Blue Cabin (2018-ongoing), specialising in facilitating Creative Life Story Work and collaborating with care-experienced children and young people. Golightly is a member of blimey! artist collective, a collective dedicated to convening individuals and celebrating artists in Darlington, Tees Valley. As an Associate with arts organisation Navigator North, Golightly supports artists and communities through mentoring, support and design.

Alongside this protean practice, Golightly maintains a career as a graphic artist. Recent projects include W H O + W H A T, All About Adoption, The Happy Newspaper, Creative Aid, blimey! Lucretia, Gemeinsam and WE SHALL BE. She has previously held positions at Navigator North, Northern School of Art, Greenfield Arts, Blue Cabin, Gallery TS1 Arts Apprenticeship.​
