There have been big changes to Plymouth Arts Centre since the announcement by Arts
Council England that it would no longer be funding the visual arts programme. As a result,
after an incredible 40 years of films at Looe Street, Plymouth Arts Centre is moving its cinema
and bar to a new home at Plymouth College of Art.
Thanks to the support of Plymouth City Council and Plymouth College of Art the Plymouth
Arts Centre cinema has found its new home in the city centre, but now they’re inviting film
fans to get involved in securing the future of Plymouth’s independent film community by
donating to their Crowdfunder campaign.
With the move to a new venue, they hope to secure a future for independent cinema in the
city but also grow and to develop what they do best - providing a friendly, cosy, welcoming
space where cinema-goers can have a drink before a film and meet friends to talk about
what they have seen in the cinema.
Plymouth Arts Centre’s aim is to continue to bring great cultural cinema to Plymouth and the
surrounding areas, and Plymouth College of Art’s offer of the opportunity to build a new
118-seat auditorium ensures its sustainable future. Their Crowdfunding campaign aims to raise
the final funds required for fitting out the new cinema with everything it needs to feel like a
new home with a warm welcome.
Anna Navas, Film Programmer at Plymouth Arts Centre cinema, said “We have been
incredibly touched by the amount of people who have donated to our crowdfunder so far -
it shows how much love and support there is for independent cinema in Plymouth.
“This money will make all the difference to our future and help us make the new Plymouth
Arts Centre cinema the best place to see brilliant films. We can't wait to welcome everyone.”
Donations will help towards installing brand new seating and add the finishing touches that
make this local cinema unique. Rewards for donors include everything from limited edition
tote bags, a personalised seat plaque, to a private screening in the cinema for you and your
friends or business colleagues. There is something for everyone and everything raised goes
into securing this thriving Independent cinema for the city. To find out how you can donate to
