Arts centre backed by councillors

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2007 / June 28

A major new centre for the contemporary arts could be built in Aberdeen's city centre. Councillors gave their backing in principal to the project on Wednesday. It would see part of Union Terrace Gardens leased for a nominal fee to Peacock Visual Arts, and a new arts centre constructed on the site. Aberdeen City Council could end up lending as much as £3m to the project. Peacock will be awarded £50,000 to aid its development. The scheme would house the council's arts development and education departments. The council hopes to create a thriving cultural quarter in the area, with the Art Gallery and His Majesty's Theatre both nearby.
