Camberwell College of Arts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camberwell College of Arts is an art college in Camberwell, south London. It is part of the University of the Arts London and is on Peckham Road. It offers both further and higher education programmes, including postgraduate awards. It was formerly known as Camberwell School of Art and Crafts.
The College's history is finely intertwined with that of the South London Gallery, with whom the building is shared. Manager of the South London Working Men's College in 1868, William Rossiter, purchased the freehold of Portland House on which the College now stands in 1889. The resulting Gallery opened in 1891, followed by the Technical Institute, the College's first guise, in 1898.
