We are a public space that aims to enrich the lives of local people by encouraging them to access, enjoy and be challenged by arts activities both as participants and audience. By providing creative and cultural activities we aim to combat isolation and promote well-being. We are open for over 80 hours a weekand welcome over 90,000 local people and visitors to the area through our doors each year. Every week there are over 40 different classes, every month there are films, artist talks and clubs, and in one year we can feature over 100 artists in 35+ exhibitions. Amongst our aims, we work to: Enable everyone to access, enjoy and be challenged by great quality art and culture experiences. Develop long-lasting relationships between children and young people and diverse creative activities; both inside formal education and as part of life outside education. Provide opportunities for learning and enable professional development within the community, contributing to the cultural, social and economic benefit of East Kent.
