The organisation formally known as LPAC will be re-launched under a new name after a consultation which saw 260 students, staff and audience members co-design a new organisational vision and a plan for transformation in four key areas: People, Perception, Programme and Place.
Lincoln Arts Centre at the University of Lincoln is thrilled to announce that the Lincoln Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (LAODS), a cornerstone of Lincoln’s cultural fabric for over a century, will become an associate community company at the venue.
This December Lincoln Arts Centre, the University of Lincoln School of Creative Arts, and the City of Lincoln Council have partnered together to deliver The Lincoln Guildhall Winter Exhibition in the windows of the historic landmark on Lincoln High Street. With submissions from students in the School of Creative Arts, a new artwork will be unveiled each day leading up to Christmas and presented to the busy shoppers on the high street throughout the festive season.
Come and be inspired by people dedicated to making technical theatre and stage management more inclusive and accessible for everyone!
