Learning at the Art House Worcester

The Art House provides magnificent and flexible facilities for all of us. These range from lecture theatres which can cater for small groups, for discussions, to open events, which attract large numbers and provide working and exhibition space. We have a wide range of studios and work places, allowing students to work creatively, develop new ideas and interact with both their tutors, teachers and with an ever-increasing network of past students, potential employers and indeed, the local community .

Making spaces and events

Visual arts at Worcester delivers a range of very varied courses at several centres within the campus, but undoubtedly our showpiece is the magnificent Arts House. Commissioned in 2019, the listed building has very successfully remodelled itself to provide all modern facilities and functions for the whole range of student needs and opportunities. There is ample working studio space, and the Art House is sufficiently flexible to cater for all manner of events from exhibitions to teaching groups of all sizes. Visitors to the Art House are always struck by the feeling of space and light that it engenders, and the way in which its special atmosphere encourages creative thought and activity.

The Art House also creates a link between the University and the City of Worcester. To give some idea of the importance of this partnership, something over 3000 visitors to our various exhibitions and activities have attended shows and lectures in the very first two years of its existence.

But its main achievement is, of course, to provide first class facilities for our students.
