Royal Society of Arts at Bedford College
Bedford College’s South Bank Arts Centre was
the setting for a meeting of the Royal Society of Arts.
The event was staged to coincide with the End
of Year art show by national award-winning student.
Bedford College staff and students have close
links with many national organisations - but this was the first
time a meeting had been held at the stylish South Bank Art
Centre.
Earlier the first local meeting of the RSA was
held at the University of Bedfordshire Polhill Campus, attended by
17 Fellows and guests and our regional RSA manager Andy
Kirk.
Director of the Arts at Bedford College Sue
Blackman then invited the local group to meet at the South Bank
Centre.
Among those in the the RSA circle is former
Bedford College employee now local arts leader Kayte Judge. Kayte
was among those who organised the very successful: We are Bedford
Castle Quay Weekender Project.
Kayte and Co have now been awarded a second
round of RSA catalyst seed funding - £5,000, to develop their
work further. This will form part of Bedford RSA activity.
