Salisbury Arts Centre is a venue for theatre, music, dance, comedy, family shows, films, exhibitions, and workshops based in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. It is a registered charity (number 1023945)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Edmunds Arts Trust )〕 which provides opportunities for members of the community to experience the arts. The centre stages a range of educational and community events,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Portfolio Organisations )〕 many of them free, and it also participates at events in and around the city, including the Larmer Tree Festival. The centre is based in the deconsecrated Grade II * listed〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Church of St Edmund, Salisbury )〕 St Edmunds Church building on Bedwin Street, Salisbury. Its main performance space can hold 164 people seated or 400 standing. It also has a studio space called the White Room that seats 60, a media space, a mult-purpose arts and crafts space, a pottery studio, an exhibition space, a café, a bar, and staff offices. As well as its regular programme, Salisbury Arts Centre organises a range of education and outreach projects that take place in and around the city. == History == In July 1974, the Salisbury Festival of the Arts (now Ageas Salisbury International Arts Festival) was held in the building with a programme of classical music and an exhibition of batik paintings. The festival programme asked visitors to suggest ideas for the use of the building, and in 1975, the church's committee agreed to grant use as an arts venue.〔 St Edmunds Arts Trust was established and a group of volunteers coordinated exhibitions from local artists and workshops for various crafts. The Arts Centre continued to develop in the next few decades. Between 1979 and 1981, Sir Henry Moore loaned his Reclining Figure (Time Life 1953) to the Arts Centre, where it was positioned outside the main entrance. By the 1990s the Arts Centre was threatened with closure due to funding cuts but supporters from the community soon launched a "Save Our Arts Centre" campaign.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Description of Salisbury Arts Centre )〕 A new funding plan was accepted and the Arts Centre carried on. By 2003 the Arts Centre had raised funds for a refurbishment project. The £4.2m capital re-development improved the heating, added new level flooring, created various spaces within the main building, improved the toilets, installed new technical equipment, and added a new extension. Salisbury Arts Centre reopened in 2005 with a new programme of events. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salisbury Arts Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
