Chapter, Arts centre and gallery in Canton, Cardiff, Wales
Chapter occupies a transformed Edwardian high school building with two cinemas, two theatres, exhibition spaces, and a central café bar area.
The centre began operations in 1971, converting a 1905 Canton High School structure into a multifunctional arts facility for the local community.
The gallery presents contemporary art exhibitions featuring international artists while supporting Welsh creators through regular commissions and performance spaces.
The facility maintains two cinema screens showing mainstream and independent films, with the larger theatre accommodating 188 viewers and smaller one seating 57.
Solar panels installed in 2014 generate up to 15KW of electricity, supporting the center's environmental sustainability initiatives and reducing operational costs.
