Decision details

To fully approve capital amounting to £75k funded by external donors.

Decision Maker: Director of Sustainable Communities

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

This project will create a new learning/community/event hire space at the rear of the first floor gallery in the Victoria Art Gallery. This multi-use space requires a relatively low level of capital intervention to achieve but will have a significant positive impact on the operations of the Victoria Art Gallery. The project will allow us to widen the audience that this significant community asset reaches as well as cementing appeal for existing audiences and enhancing its commercial potential.

Decision:

To fully approve capital amounting to £75k funded by external donors.

Alternative options considered:

Do nothing: The current education facilities at the Victoria Art Gallery are not up to the standards recommended by experts and expected by users. External funding has been donated to the Victoria Art Gallery for the purpose of this project.
