project gallery : community and arts

A large number of ARPL projects provide new or refurbished facilities for community and arts use. The work is related to our involvement with rural and local active community groups and has often stemmed from a desire to give a new use for a redundant or underused building already within the community.

In rural locations, there is often a need to provide a facility for performance and arts events and spaces are required to be flexible and running costs financially viable in a small community.

We consider it important to provide good front and back of house facilities, and can advise on audio visual and lighting installations.
