A modern arts centre is to open in Aberdeen in 2010, costing £13 million. The new centre received £4 million in capital funding from the Scottish Arts Council and will be the first of its kind in Northern Scotland. The development is a partnership between Aberdeen City Council and Peacock Visual Arts, and they hope to attract 200,000 visitors a year. The centre will exhibit contemporary arts, host exhibitions by world-class artists and run community outreach and education projects. Facilities will include galleries, printmaking, television/dance studios, workshops and space for film screenings and talks. The building will primarily be built underground and heated using geo-thermal and solar energy.
