Milton Keynes has a broad and varied cultural offer with many practicing artists and professional creatives.

In this most challenging of years we have really valued the support and friendship of many external artists, creative professionals, Industry specialists, arts organisations, partners and co-collaborators who have given input to our students’ experience.  As delivery has adapted to online learning it has facilitated the contributions of guest speakers from beyond Milton Keynes.
