ST ALBANS ARTS – WHO WE ARE
St Albans Arts is a development organisation for St Albans, made up of a voluntary group of artists, business professionals and lovers of the arts.
We passionately believe that St Albans and district deserves better provision for the arts.
ST ALBANS ARTS - OUR VISION
St Albans Arts foresees the development of an architecturally iconic, multi-purpose arts centre in the middle of the city with
- substantial art and photography galleries
- a flexible theatre/concert venue large enough (at least 1200 seats) to attract major tour companies of the highest quality
- a warm and welcoming studio space for smaller events (400 seats)
- a cinema (if the city still lacks one when the arts centre is designed)
- other arts facilities according to researched needs
A vibrant programme of theatre, music, dance, opera, visual art, courses and workshops will act as a compelling magnet for the hundreds of thousands of people who live within easy travelling time of St. Albans. The arts centre development will have considerable regional significance.
ST ALBANS ARTS – OUR MISSION
As a development organisation, St Albans Arts believes that:
- the arts have the power to regenerate, to invigorate, to foster social harmony and to help people of widely diverse backgrounds to realise their full potential.
- through the expansion and informed focusing of the arts, the quality of life for local people will be hugely enhanced.
- there will be very significant improvement in prosperity as arts development causes the number of visitors to the city, and the employment and of arts-related workers, to increase.
ST ALBANS ARTS – OVERALL OBJECTIVES
St Albans Arts, as a development organisation, intends to
- enable people to experience a broad spectrum of the arts
- create a large, multi-purpose, city centre arts facility
- facilitate the radical ‘beautification’ of the city
