We are operating as a community arts centre, serving all the varied residents and visitors in Bath and environs. We have as our remit the aim to present as wide a range of performing arts as possible, including music of all kinds (except very loud!), theatre, dance, comedy, film, poetry and multimedia combinations of all the above. We hope to be able to offer workshops and provide a space for rehearsals and learning experiences of all kinds.
We also intend to be a force in encouraging creativity in all sectors of our arts community.
As well as promoting its own events, Chapel Arts will be available for hire by organisations and independent promoters with programs that fit into our overall artistic policy – a policy which is very broad.
Anyone interested in any aspect of Chapel Arts Centre should contact Svanur Thorkelsson through this website.
