In 1999 our beautiful Edwardian art school was re-opened after a £1.2-million refurbishment. Since then we have staged over 200 exhibitions by local, national and international artists & designers. The School of Art is now totally self-funding and employs three people. All the school's units are now

fully occupied - and new shop-studio units for artists opened nearby in Queen St. in Spring 2005. Burslem School of Art is thriving once again!
