Dartington College of Arts announces talks with University College Falmouth
In light of Dartington College of Art’s announcement that it is engaged in talks with University College Falmouth, Dartington Hall Trust Chief Executive Officer Vaughan Lindsay comments:
“Throughout the Trust’s history we have nurtured new and exciting ideas which, when the time was right, have moved on to further their own development and meet their aspirations. This is part of what we do.
This is a bittersweet decision for both the College and the Trust. Dartington College of Arts is a distinctive and highly successful institution, which has been a vibrant and active part of estate life for over 40 years. Whilst we do not want to see the College leave the estate, we understand that the fulfilment of their long-term ambition is beyond the finite resources that the College, and the Trust, can support here at Dartington.
While the discussions with Falmouth are only at an exploratory stage, we are confident that our shared ethos and heritage will enable us to continue working together on many of our joint activities as partners in Dartington Plus.
We remain fully supportive of the College in its current form at Dartington and in its discussions with Falmouth.”
