Organisation Description The Brewhouse is the main arts and cultural centre in Taunton and benefits from being located on Somerset Square, which provides outside spaces for cultural, community activities. TTA provide artistic and participation programmes to inspire, educate and entertain those who live, work and study in Taunton and the surrounding areas. The arts centre comprising of a 352 seat proscenium auditorium, studio/studio-theatre, art gallery, workshop space, function room and promenade café/bar. The Brewhouse serves a multitude of community groups, educational establishments, private and public enterprise, charities, clubs, businesses and societies based in the South West. Activities and services Since reopening in spring 2014 The Brewhouse has been steadily developing its artistic offer and expanding its horizons. Initially run entirely by volunteers, pro-bono advisors and freelance contractors, TTA has now recruited a small highly skilled management team to grow and develop the organisation’s cultural and educational offer. The Brewhouse complements a busy performance and participation programme with film screenings including live events from NTLive and Royal Opera House, and also curates the largest art gallery in Taunton, with a programme of rotating exhibitions. The Brewhouse is also home to professional orchestra Southern Sinfonia and aspires to welcome more resident artists in future. Up until now TTA has had limited capacity to deliver more than one-off projects and workshops. TTA have now raised the funds to employ a Learning and Participation Manager who will join the team in April 2016, tasked with developing a comprehensive community engagement programme with a particular emphasis on increasing the number of daytime activities. |
