Our Patrons
“Giving an opportunity to those who sometimes don’t know how to find that door is a responsibility to all of us who work in the arts”

Simon Callow
“Wac Arts felt like home every weekend.”
Ms Dynamite

Martina Laird
“The power of the arts. Let it be for all not just the privileged few.”
Ann Mitchell
“Wac Arts was a gift to kids like me. It was a route out of – it sounds like a bit of a cliche – the ghetto.”
