Statement: 
At New City College, our arts provision empowers students to explore their creativity with purpose. From industry-standard facilities to expert tutors and exciting live projects, we give every learner the platform to develop real-world skills, build confidence, and thrive in the creative industries. Across our 7 campuses, we have an excellent track record of working with practicing artists and this work forms a key part of our curriculum. Our external stakeholders all reflect on the ‘buzz’ of our Creative provision and how working with young people invigorates their own practice. We’re excited to host artists in residence to inspire our students, share professional insights, and bring fresh creative energy into our studios.
