Medway School of Arts Open Event

Join Medway School of Arts for an open event at the Sail and Colour Loft in Chatham Historic Dockyard on Saturday 16 May 2026 from 10 am - 1 pm. This is a great opportunity to explore the schools facilities and resources, meet the teaching team, and get a clear picture of the creative courses on offer. The event is designed for prospective students considering UAL study pathways, as well as anyone curious about art and design education in a historic and inspiring setting.

Visitors can speak directly with staff about the UAL Foundation Diploma and the university-level art and design courses that begin in September 2026, see studios and workshops, and learn about course content, progression routes and portfolio advice. Registration is essential so the team can share event updates, and everyone who registers and attends will be entered into a prize draw to win a 30 Odeon cinema voucher.

Friends and family are welcome to come along, and practical information such as parking and directions is provided as a downloadable PDF on the event page. If you are thinking about studying art and design at higher level, this open event offers a focused, friendly way to explore options and ask questions face to face with course staff.
