You can help Save Penzance Art School!

 


Help Save Penzance Art School – Create a vibrant future!

PZArts CIC is a local team committed to reviving Penzance Art School and its historic sister buildings: the Library and Science School. Their mission is to restore these much loved spaces as welcoming, creative hubs at the heart of the community. They aim to bring heritage arts and crafts education back to life, echoing the school's historic significance where many of the Newlyn School artists, including Stanhope Forbes and Bernard Leach, taught. This truly significant and historic part of Cornish and British art in the 19th and 20th centuries will be honoured as they offer opportunities for making, learning, exhibiting, and connecting across generations. These buildings hold deep creative and cultural significance, and the team believes they deserve a future as vibrant as their past.

Rooted in Penzance’s rich artistic legacy, their vision looks forward with hope: inclusive, imaginative, and community-led. With your support, they can breathe new energy into these iconic spaces and return them to the people of Penzance as places of inspiration, learning, and shared creativity. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey. The team would love for you to be part of it and to follow along as they bring this vision to life.
