CPA Premises Planning
Many members will know that the CPA’s lease at Great Russell Street, home to Contemporary Ceramics and the CPA office, is due to expire at the end of 2027. Earlier this year, Council set up a dedicated Premises Working Group to begin exploring what the next phase for the organisation could look like and how we can best support the CPA’s long-term future.
This work is still at an early stage, but we wanted to begin sharing our thinking with members openly and early in the process.
One of the main options currently being explored is a short-term lease renewal at our existing premises while we continue to look more broadly at the organisation’s future needs and opportunities.
Alongside this, we are also thinking carefully about the wider value and role of the CPA across all areas of the organisation, including fairs, exhibitions, Ceramic Review, membership services, professional recognition and support for makers at different stages of their careers.
We know members care deeply about the future of the CPA and we will continue to provide updates as discussions develop over the coming months.
