Global platform for Liverpool arts sector
A unique partnership between the universities and major arts organisations in Liverpool offers a new platform to promote the remarkable creative and cultural strengths, talents and virtues of Liverpool to the world.
Culture Campus Liverpool is an international centre for learning, research, advocacy, development, participation and expression in contemporary visual, media and popular culture.
It brings together the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool Hope University, and The Foundation for Art & Creative Technology (FACT), Tate Liverpool, Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art and the other members of the Liverpool Arts & Regeneration Consortium (LARC).
It is a radical and dynamic partnership between cultural, educational, and business organisations, sharing a common agenda. At the heart of its mission lies the job of aspiring, supporting and enabling the best quality graduates to be attracted, stay, work and contribute to the cultural sector and the wider creative economy in Liverpool. It lobbies and guides Liverpool’s major educational institutions on what the creative sector is looking for from its new recruits, as well as establishing new and existing collaborations.
Business Gateway was instrumental in helping to establish Culture Campus as a viable organisation. It will continue to support the growth of what is an exciting and unique concept for collaborative partnership between the Merseyside higher education and cultural & creative sectors.
More recently, Business Gateway has worked with the University of Liverpool’s Strategic Partnerships team to take Culture Campus into the next phase of development, using its brand to secure the move of the North West Cultural Observatory to Merseyside. This is on the brink of becoming an internationally recognised centre for research on cultural policy and impact. It will also have a strong commitment to further develop cross-sectoral relationships and methodologies using the highly successful models developed during Liverpool’s year as Capital of Culture.
