Chelsea students are immersed in the global creative, cultural and commercial worlds. The facilities, the location and the status of the College attract the best from every continent, with staff and students from across Europe and beyond. It creates a diverse creative and academic community, a unique environment in which to develop and create (as with Midori Aria’s student work for Penguin Books, left). The College is ideally located within London, a hub of the international art market, and home to leading galleries both commercial and public. Institutions like the Design Museum (top) are easily accessible, while Tate Britain (bottom) is literally next door. And there is inspiration all around, whether in the capital’s huge ethnographic collections, or in its annual contemporary art fair, Frieze. With its interactions, exchanges and international relationships, Chelsea opens up a world of possibilities.
