The new building is part of long term strategic plan to foster arts and creativity in the region in conjunction with regional local authorities, businesses and employers, creating a central hub which has our talented students at its core.

The recent regional award of £1.2 million for a specific enterprise space for new and inspiring artists and innovators (Cell –Block) within the historic dockyard is further testament to the national faith that Portsmouth is the perfect incubation space for the future of the creative and cultural industries.

Currently 12,300 businesses employ just under 100,000 people within the creative and cultural industries in the region. A workforce, of which 53% are graduates, and brings 4 billion into the UK economy (Sector skills council -Creative Choices 08/09)
