New life could be breathed into the Douglas Market Hall if an idea to link up with the Isle of Man College goes ahead.

It would serve as a base for degree students, give them studio space and allow them to showcase their work at exhibitions.
The proposals are now being progressed. If they get the go-ahead they could be in place for the 2014/15 academic year.
