The ARTches project aims to sympathetically convert the currently vacant arches into artist studio spaces, so as to breathe new life into these historic structures. The project would create new jobs and opportunities to visually enhance the area, as well as supporting emerging creative industries. Artists who take up one of the new studios will enjoy a unique opportunity to show-case their work to the public and will also benefit from the potential for exhibitions in the recently refurbished Round Tower.
If you would like to find out more about the proposals, the council are holding various events for residents, businesses and visitors to attend.
- Saturday 20th July 2pm - 6pm. A drop in session at the Hotwalls with council officers and the architects.
- Thursday 25th July 10am - 2pm. A drop in session at the Square Tower with council officers.
- Monday 29th July 4pm - 8pm. A drop in with a question and answer session from 6:30pm at Becket Hall, Cathedral House with council officers and the architects.
The full plans the architects have drawn up are available here and will be available throughout the consultation period at:
- the Hotwalls

- the ground floor reception of the Civic Offices in Guildhall Square
