Chapter, Arts centre and gallery in Canton, Cardiff, Wales
Chapter is housed in a converted Edwardian school building and contains two cinema screens, two theatre spaces, exhibition areas, and a central café bar. The spaces flow together and allow visitors to move between film screenings, live performances, and gallery views throughout the afternoon or evening.
The facility opened in 1971 after converting a school building originally constructed in 1905. This transformation marked the beginning of its role as a community arts venue offering multiple forms of creative expression.
The gallery showcases contemporary art with works from around the world and actively commissions pieces from Welsh artists. Visitors encounter a space where local creativity meets international perspectives through rotating exhibitions and live performances.
All facilities are contained within one building and clearly signposted, making it easy to navigate between different areas. Plan to spend time exploring the venue unhurried, as moving between cinema, theatre, and gallery areas takes only minutes.
Solar panels on the roof generate electricity to power the daily operations of the venue. This green approach reflects the facility's commitment to reducing its environmental footprint while maintaining active programming.
