The Blank Canvas

It's a blank canvas... for now. But imagine what you could fill it with?

Wake the floors with the vibrations of movement and dance, stir the air with monologues and dramatic scenes, rouse its walls through music and song. fill it with words and colour and creation. Introducing The Blank Canvas - a place where you can let your imagination fly.

We want to offer groups in our community, a free space to create, rehearse or just come together with ideas - for any arts-based project or activity. If you are a group of creatives who have trouble finding an affordable space, then we can offer you free space in our studio room weekly.

There will be a timetable of availability, where groups can book a slot. This will be free of charge, but groups will be encouraged to get involved with other community venue activity as a whole, perhaps collaborating with other groups and if you have an end goal/performance etc, to utilise our venues to share this.
