Square Chapel Arts Centre, which went into administration in March, has been taken over by the team at Arts At The Mill. They have formed a new company, Square Chapel CIC, to run the venue.
Arts At The Mill is the umbrella organisation for Wigan organisations The Old Courts, Wigan Pier and The Royal Court Theatre, and has been supported in its take-over by Arts Council England and Calderdale Council. Dave Jenkins, Managing Director, said: "There will be every opportunity to input into the future planning and as new custodians of the arts centre, we are very much ready to listen and support the ambitions of the community, freelancers and artists who have been severely impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic.”
