Aberdeen Performing Arts is celebrating 20 years at the heart of arts and culture in the North-east, making a difference in the community by enriching lives, creating opportunities to take part, developing skills and providing access to perform.
The milestone is being marked by the introduction of a new opportunity to support the arts charity, becoming part of a community of arts champions in the region with the launch of the Aberdeen Performing Arts Ovation Club.
Aberdeen Performing Arts runs city centre venues His Majesty’s Theatre, the Music Hall and the Lemon Tree, as well as five annual festivals, including the upcoming Granite Noir crime writing festival which takes place across the city from February 20-23.
Other festivals include youth arts focussed Light the Blue, and the Aberdeen Comedy festival, which returns to the city this September.
The arts charity relies on donations to run and maintain the iconic venues, deliver transformative community outreach programmes and contribute to the cultural and economic success of the region.
Aberdeen Performing Arts Chief Executive, Sharon Burgess, said: “Arts and culture have the power to improve lives, support communities and create social inclusion.
“As a charity we are committed to making the arts accessible for all, as a leading light in the Scottish arts sector, creating opportunities at grassroots level and bringing world-class performers right here to Aberdeen for our audiences to enjoy.
“The Ovation Club is a fantastic chance to help us to make a difference – enriching lives, creating opportunities to take part, developing skills and providing access.”
The Ovation Club will provide opportunities to be part of the continued success of the sector, creating a network of businesses and individuals who recognise the vital role of the arts in a vibrant, diverse and successful city, as well as a range of unique benefits. Options for both Individual and Corporate memberships are open for new members.
