Share Your Memories
of Aberdeen Arts Centre

We love stories. We tell them on our stage, in our Creative Learning classes, and in our galleries.

We'd love to hear about your amazing experiences with Aberdeen Arts Centre, and what this incredible organisation means to you - from the days of Catherine Hollingworth's iconic Children's Theatre, to the days of the legendary Annie Inglis, to our current position at the heart of creativity in the Granite City.

The History of
Aberdeen Arts Centre

From the original construction of the North Parish Church in the 19th century; to the Arts Centre's emergence in the 1960s; to the local community securing its future at the eve of the millennium; to its modern existence as an inclusive arts venue and registered charity — there's a rich and storied past behind Aberdeen Arts Centre.

It's this unique heritage and the work of many before us that inspire the whole team as we continue our mission to nurture creativity and champion the performing arts in the North East of Scotland.
