A £2.5m creative arts hub in Coventry will provide “a space for future generations of artists and creative engineers”. As well as being home to five of the city’s arts organisations – Imagineer, Highly Sprung, Media Mania, Open Theatre and Talking Birds - The Daimler Powerhouse will focus primarily on outdoor arts and will deliver training programmes aimed at young people and people with disabilities.
An arts National Lottery grant of £150,000 will enable a Vertical Dance Wall, music and sound facilities, plus essential IT and construction equipment to be embedded in the building, which was the first car factory built in Britain.
