Save The Airdrie Art Centre

Why has Airdrie Art Centre closed ?

The council apparently have told the Art Centre comittee that cost was the issue.

Is this true ?

North Lanarkshire Council see the newly refurbished Town Hall as the replacement facilities for everything the Art Centre offered to the town.

Well I dont agree.

I spoke to an Art Centre volunteer, who has supported our town for over 70years, and on the evidence given by them and several others in town the art centre is irreplacable.

Small productions, social cafe and community spirit were some of the priceless services the art centre provided for the Airdrie people.

Some elderly residents had there only daily meals in the centre and most elderly towns folk welcomed this social and friendly meeting place in the town.

The campaign to "save" the Airdrie Art Centre should now be replaced by "get the Art Centre open NOW"
What do our Elected officials think about the closure ?

We have an MP and MSP candidate that claim to know what the Airdrie people want, well lets ask them.

MP Nash & MSP Neil:-

what do you think about the Art Centre closure ?

What facilities has Airdrie got that replicates the Art centre ?

Is the Art Centre building in the listed classification ?

Whats the plans for the Art Centre Building ?

Keeping in mind that the Orrs and Bingo properties have been empty for years and are falling beyond repair.
It is a sad tale,

The Art Centre was the centre of LIFE for some Airdrie residents, especially those of an age that made Airdrie a once great town.

Lets make Community spirit a priority in Airdrie.
