About us
Who we are
We believe that, through offering outstanding artistic experiences for all in our communities, and by operating as robust social enterprises, arts centres present a fantastic model for the cultural venues of tomorrow.
The objectives of Future Arts Centres are to:
- create a unifying leadership voice for arts centres and their unique artistic and social contribution to the cultural and civic life of UK towns and cities
- advocate for sustained and increased investment in arts centres
- ensure the role of arts centres is recognised in artform development and funding policies
- develop new, artistically driven, collaborative partnership models
- explore business collaborations which innovate and support sustainability
Our culture and values
You can read more about our key principles on our website.
Ultimately, we believe that by supporting arts centres to flourish in their own context, then there are a wider range of vital and signficiant social impact and community cohesion.
