Future Arts Centres and Arup have joined forces to highlight the critical need to restore ageing cultural infrastructure and support creative communities across the UK.
In-depth research from 90 UK art centres shows that over three quarters (78%) of those surveyed report being unable to complete planned work on their buildings, and more than 60% of venues have had no renovation or refurbishment within the last 10 years (including 25% where there have been no relevant works within recent memory).
