Artists who lost their work and equipment in a studio fire earlier this month will receive more than £40,000.

A public fundraising campaign has raised £22,000, with the Cornwall Community Foundation pledging £20,000 for those affected by the Krowji centre blaze.

Seventeen studios were destroyed and more still were damaged by water. Creatives businesses including the Cornwall Heritage Trust lost their offices.

Dr Fiona Wotton, CEO of Creative Kernow, the charity behind Krowji, said the money would go towards providing new studio space, equipment and emergency grants.

"It's still very raw, but we're moving towards being as productive as we can."
