The Drum Arts Centre has been a big part of my life as a member of the black community and as a performing artist along with countless other artists and aspiring artists of all ages, disciplines and abilities for many years. It has been a significant venue for many to meet up and inspire diverse and grass roots ideas for public production. The Drum has supported and embraced the provision of dedicated creative spaces for local cultural artistic education, development and delivery of shows to audiences from near and far and has also hosted multiple shows of varied ethnic genres from international and local performers for years. I am stunned by the news of The Drums closure and the huge effect this closure will have to many not to mention the dedicated staff. Truly sad.
