Cultural Capital
We are regularly involved in community projects, specifically with project Motorhouse, and the Thanet young artists festival in association with Thanet Rotary Club. We work closely with the university for Creative Arts to encourage student aspiration to attend university through attendance of school based workshops and invitation to holiday workshops and summer schools. We organize visits to Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate and have practicing photographers working with our GCSE groups. This gives students an insight into the world of commercial arts based practice.
