Arts Guild Theatre

We aim to maintain our existing successful programming policy, developed over a period of years and intended to challenge, inspire, educate, entertain our audiences,
and to offer them opportunities to experience the best in professional arts.
We shall continue to develop this policy in response to changing trends in the arts, audience responses, new opportunities, the interests of our participants, their demands and their desire for new experiences and by collaborating with other arts centres and theatres.
We shall
• promote a balanced programme intended to appeal to a wide range of
audiences of all ages and varying interests.
• programme quality professional events from the best in Scottish,
British and visiting foreign companies and artists touring across Britain and offering artistic product suited to our scale of venues (main house and studio theatres).
• programme work that would not otherwise be seen by audiences in
Inverclyde
• programme work by Scotland’s national theatre, dance, music and
opera companies suited to our scale of venues.
• engage with major local and national events and initiatives to capitalise on opportunities to bring these to the Inverclyde.
• collaborate with Inverclyde Council Education and Arts Development
Departments and with Inverclyde Arts to promote events jointly.
• programme exhibitions of work and other events by professional artists
working in the visual arts.
• identify opportunities to secure sponsorship from trusts, national and
local businesses to support our programme of professional performances.
• collaborate with other arts centres and venues to share practice and
secure artistic product for our arts centre such as the Federation of
Scottish Theatre, and regional and local consortia that may from time
to time be formed.
