Following on from the 'Yes We Caen' Project and to make that page less busy, this blog page will serve as the contents page to all the information shared about the city of Portsmouth. There is a similar page which collects together information about the city of Caen and one for the city of Duisburg.

Portsmouth Creates through the University / Victorious Festival / Arts Council:
We Create Market Southsea (Portsmouth Creates)
This is a group of around 200 local artists and makers who come together to sell their products in this project. We could aim to feature them and their works on this project.
Solent Sky Services have once more provided a wonderful virtual tour by drone through the former Debenhams department store in Southsea. While the store awaits redevelopment into Handley's Corner with flats and retail space it is being used on some weekends as a space for local makers and creators to sell their goods and works.
Made in Portsmouth
Kitty an alumnus of the University of Portsmouth after studying BA (Hons) Illustration, has created the most recent 'Made in Portsmouth' project during Lockdown in 2020. For this project, she created a handmade interactive map of Portsmouth. It contains a red lens which reveals various places and attractions around the city along with some information about them. >>> Click Here to see the map <<<
