2 Introduction from the Chair of Board: Prof. Susan Bassnett

A palpable sense of renewal pervaded the University throughout the year and nowhere was this more obvious than Warwick Arts Centre with our Butterworth Hall closed for much of the year and a building site obvious to visitors. I am thrilled and proud to have been associated with not only the transformation of the Butterworth Hall, which opened magnificently as the year ended, but also with the creation of our new rehearsal room, providing a living demonstration of a University-wide commitment to the importance of creativity to our well-being and that of contemporary society.

Warwick Arts Centre also led the charitable trusts, foundations and Mead Gallery.

2008/09 was another extremely busy and productive year for the Education Team, full of energy and with lots of young people actively engaging with professional artists by either investigating the arts through workshops, talks and discussions, or making new works of art in their schools and colleges and sharing them with peers and families. Over the year, in nearly 970 working sessions, we made over 30,700 contacts with almost 14,000 young people and adults.
