Arts centres are a vital resource within the sharing of diversity issues for carers to meet, for the less able to explore and share ideas and publicly perform, for ethnic minority cultures to dance and make music, for faiths to support the needy. In all - for people to come together and share wellbeing.

It defines the architecture, the ambience of social commonality and teh beauty of its social media. For Darlington to loose its Cultural face is like ignoring the importance of new life to generate history. Darlington needs the arts leaders of yesterday to foster and facilitate the cultural arts movement of tommorow. The Arts Centre is both an important traditional and innovative service. Its iconic status must continue into the future.
