CHAIR’ S INTRODUCTION
Welcome to our annual report which sets out what we achieved during the year April 2024 to March 2025. In our last year as Newhampton Arts Centre we completed our recovery from the disruption to our work caused by first COVID and then a major heating system failure. 2024-5 saw a full programme of live events and exhibitions and we saw increased interest in our workspaces as well as new courses and classes in the studios.
We now turn our focus to the future and securing the future of our beautiful and historic site, the Wolverhampton Municipal Grammar School, through a major capital programme. To aid in this, and to recognise the hard work all involved in the centre have put in to make us Wolverhampton’ s arts centre, we will change our name next year to Wolverhampton Arts Centre.
