The Project

In the first instance we are raising funds to purchase the buildings as a CIC, meaning they will be owned by those driven by community service. The following proposed project will be delivered in a number of stages.

We aim to phase the development in a way that will open the space to the community as soon as possible. At the heart of our plan is a simple but powerful aim: to bring heritage arts and crafts education back to the centre of the Art School - for the people of Penzance and the wider community. PZArts CIC is a local team with a shared passion for turning these buildings into a vibrant hub - a place for making, learning, exhibiting, and connecting through creativity. Our vision celebrates Penzance's rich creative heritage, while looking boldly toward an inclusive and imaginative future. We're looking forward to keeping you updated every step of the way.
