About us
Who we are
Established in 2012, The Bank Arts Centre (Eyes Open CIC) is a not-for-profit community project run by Eyes Open CIC. We are a volunteer-led creative hub working to make the arts accessible and inclusive to our rural community. Based in a grade-II listed ex-midlands Bank building in the centre of Eye, Suffolk, we host an eclectic programme of exhibitions, live music, theatre, comedy, activities, workshops and classes alongside our family friendly café.
The Bank is a place where anyone can come along and feel welcome and involved. Enjoy a coffee and explore creativity with us!
As an organisation, we aim to:
- Encourage participation and engagement in the creative arts and digital
- Provide inclusive and subsidised access to opportunities for personal growth and skills development
- Use creativity to actively address recognised needs within the community
- Provide a safe, welcoming, and compassionate environment for those in need
- Provide a platform to support local artists and creatives
- Provide work experience and employment opportunities to our community
