Take Part

As well as presenting a wide range of live performances and film screenings, ARC also offers lots of opportunities to get involved.

We have a dedicated programme of creative arts activity for children and young people; regular classes and workshops for adults, and a specialist range of activities, performances and screenings too.

We also deliver a comprehensive artist development programme, primarily aimed at professional drama, dance and spoken word artists.

If there is something creative you would like to do that doesn’t feature on these pages, then please do get in touch with us.

Young People

ARC’s creative learning programme focusses on supporting young people aged 11-21 years to develop through a programme of creative activity.

Try something new or take your hobby a step further. We offer a whole range of regular classes and one-off workshops for adults. Have a go at creative writing, fine tune your painting and drawing skills or join in with a weekly ukelele jam! Whilst our building is closed due to COVID, the following activities take place online.

For Artists

ARC is committed to supporting theatre, dance and spoken word artists to make brilliant work, with a particular focus on artists working in the North. Alongside making support available from ARC itself, we also work in partnership with many other venues to deliver programmes and initiatives which have been developed in response to things artists have told us they need.
