This is a practical handbook for planning and establishing an art-based community centre. This guide provides an overview of the key aspects that would need to be considered when planning to offer art classes and/or start an art centre to your local community.  Our handbook focuses predominantly on starting an art centre as a non-profit, including some information on what to consider should you decide to run your art centre as a profitable pursuit. This module is shared with CAF's as an on-line self-help reference guide; and BAP programme staff are available to those who use this resource to assist and mentor them as they implement this challenging but needed activity.

​

This handbook is free and available for download in four parts, book 1, 2, 3 and 4. The appendices are also available for download.
