Watermans, Arts centre and theatre in Brentford, England
The Watermans Arts Centre stands on the banks of the River Thames, featuring a 239-seat theatre, 125-seat cinema, two galleries, and studio spaces.
The development of Watermans Arts Centre required fifteen years of planning, with a trust established in 1975 that raised £150,000 for its construction.
The venue became a center for South Asian arts during the 1990s, presenting numerous performances and supporting emerging Asian-British artists throughout the decade.
The facility provides wheelchair access throughout the building, with three designated spaces in the cinema and four in the theatre for disabled visitors.
The term Acid Jazz originated at this location during one of Nicky Holloway's performances in late 1987, marking its place in British music history.
