“The young people had a fantastic experience… it makes all the difference to rehearse and perform in a professional space with that level of production support”
(Parent of participant in music residency April 2009)

Just like the church whose building it now inhabits once did, the Arts Centre celebrates life and aliveness by bringing the community together to share experiences and “commune” with others in an atmospheric physical place.

"A special place with a special character"
