In 1991, after the exhibition had ended, the space was obtained by Andy Arnold, who would become the venue's artistic director, for the purposes of creating a theatre. Realising that theatre productions required substantial funding, Arnold decided to stage nightclub events to support his projects, and this practice continues to this day, the clubbing revenues helping to fund the array of events it hosts on a regular basis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 In early 2007, The Arches was voted 12th best club in the world by DJs in a DJ Magazine poll.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 50 Clubs voted by DJs (2007) )〕 In January 2008, Andy Arnold left The Arches to become the artistic director at the Tron Theatre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 He was succeeded at the Arches by Jackie Wylie.〔 In April 2015, The Arches announced on Facebook that their nightclub license had be removed from them. DJs, artists, performers showed anger all over the world. A petition started to reinstate the licence which had over 40,000 signatures. Although the ongoing campaign to keep The Arches running as a nightclub, the request was never taken in by the licensing board. In June 2015, The Arches announced on social media that the company would go into administration and would have no choice but to close down the facility. 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「The Arches (Glasgow)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
