Aberdeen Arts Centre
Théâtre à l'italienne
The Aberdeen Arts Centre Association or 'AACA' began its life in the early 1950s as
a pressure group set up to lobby for an Arts Centre in Aberdeen which would provide a
venue both for the city's thriving amateur societies and for visiting professional
artists. Its persistence paid off in the early sixties when the Corporation of the City of
Aberdeen bought and converted the North & Trinity Church which had recently
closed.
After the opening in 1963 the Association took an active role in
promoting use of the new facilities by organizing poetry readings, art exhibitions,
concerts and performances by small scale professional touring companies.
