The Arts’ House

Standing proudly at the heart of Taunton College, The Arts House is a local hub for innovation and artistic exploration. Designed by a Somerset architect and recently refurbished with a Β£12.5 million investment, this inspiring space brings together the very best in Art, Design, Media, and Creative Arts education.

A space designed for creativity

Step inside The Arts House and you’ll find state-of-the-art facilities that inspire experimentation and collaboration across disciplines. Light-filled studios, professional-standard equipment, and flexible learning spaces make it a home for aspiring artists, designers, makers, and media specialists alike.

It is also the home of The Realm – UCS College Group’s forward-thinking CreaTech collaborative space, that connects students with local employers.
