Charleston is one of the only world-class museums in the country with a further education college based on its site.

Each year:

  • Over 500 students engage in live projects

  • Industry-led briefs shape their work

  • Collaboration leads to outcomes with meaningful, relevant and forward-looking results.

We continue to build relationships with creative organisations across the South East, strengthening a network that supports both talent and industry.

“The highlight was looking back at what we’d created and feeling very proud. We all contributed to an amazing final project.”

We welcome your
Collaboration to:

  • Grow the programme

  • Set live briefs that reflect your organisation’s needs

  • Access a wide range of creative students, across multiple disciplines
