Aberdeen Arts Centre

Aberdeen Arts Centre

Aberdeen Arts Centre is a theatre on King Street in Aberdeen, Scotland.

The 350 seater auditorium regularly plays host to music and drama events and is the focus for much of Aberdeen's amateur dramatic activities.

The theatre is on two levels, with an upper and a lower gallery for audiences. There is a small orchestra pit and behind the stage there are dressing and rehearsal rooms for the shows and other projects such as local drama groups.

The building also houses an exhibition area which hosts local and visiting art shows. 2007 has seen the start of an artist in residence programme at the arts centre. The first artist was Will Teather.

The centre was the subject of controversy in 1998 when Aberdeen City Council withdrew core funding from the venue. A team of local people joined forces to take over the lease of the building and established Castlegate Arts Ltd, a volunteer led charity which now runs the centre.
