We provide affordable studios, build networks, and offer support, learning and facilities to inspire everyone to realise their creative potential.
It’s vital that Plymouth and the SW has a vibrant art and making culture that keeps creative jobs in the region, and we are here to help every maker in their journey.
Making strengthens communities; it gives people confidence and a voice: have your voice heard through our unrivalled programme of masterclasses, tutorials, exhibitions and events.
