COLEG SIR GAR’s Carmarthen School of Art is going from strength to strength since its re-launch in 2014 and will open a second site in Carmarthen this September, to accommodate demand from young creatives in the county.
BTEC diplomas in art, design and fashion, up to level three, will soon be delivered at the college’s Pibwrlwyd campus, preparing students for progression into work, apprenticeships and higher education – including the nine degree pathways offered by the school at its Job’s Well campus, which are validated by University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
Head of Carmarthen School of Art, Paula Phillips Davies said: “We’re really excited by this development which will provide fantastic opportunities for young students to specialise in art, design and fashion in Carmarthenshire.
“We’re bringing together all of our vocational BTEC provision under one roof, to create a vibrant, specialist facility for our students.
“There’s such a longstanding tradition of creativity in Carmarthenshire that we hope to build on and this site will now give us the opportunity to provide for students from 16 years of age through to graduation.”
The historic name of Carmarthen School of Art dates back to 1854 and there is a direct lineage through to the school that currently occupies the Job’s Well road campus, Carmarthen which is focused primarily on post-18 provision.
