schools also. Their plans for the area are exciting and worthy of support and funding. We will also provide a room for the 1st/4th to re-establish their band and support the organization in Gibraltar of the Euro Jamboree 2021. We will continue to support the Guides in the development of the land around the upper rock facilities. NEW GBC PREMISES We will complete the premises for our National Broadcaster GBC. These are the first purpose-built premises GBC has had the benefit of occupying, as all others have been buildings which have had to be modified to suit GBC. We will continue to work closely with GBC and its board to deliver this exciting project. CULTURE NEW THEATRE It has become impossible to reasonably fund the theatre we had proposed at the site of the old Queens Cinema. We have therefore looked at alternative, deliverable options. We have determined that we can redevelop a 900-seater theatre at the John Macintosh Hall. This theatre will be run by Gibraltar Cultural Services and will be our National Theatre. It will be equipped to host international events and shows. The theatre will deliver a long-standing commitment at a reasonable cost. Additionally, this solution offers the added advantage of minimal further running costs given that there are already professional staff at the John Macintosh Hall. This is a realistic and deliverable option for the new theatre facility Gibraltar needs. CULTURAL HUB We will create a cultural Hub for artist. The spaces provided will be for short term rental whist the artists are preparing for exhibitions or specific projects. REFURBISHMENT OF FACILITIES We will continue the refurbishment programme of all cultural facilities. We will increase the amount of Money given towards Cultural Grants. This is to be able to export more of our culture abroad. MEGA CONCERT GMF TENDER In our 2011 manifesto we promised a Mega Concert. We developed that into the Gibraltar Music Festival which was a brilliant new concept for Gibraltar. That then became the MTV Gibraltar Calling Music Festival which has helped to raise the profile of Gibraltar and has been very well received internationally. However, when we planned the introduction of the Mega Concert / Music Festival we designed it to be a more local event. We want to revert to that original model. The GSD have strongly criticised the event and their criticism can only mean one thing - that they will double the ticket prices for families or that they will cut the festival. We have already put the organisation of the music festival out to tender. We will continue with the concept of a music festival and will choose the operator that offers the best value for money and the best cultural proposition for our people. INCES HALL ACCESSIBILITY We will make the Ince’s Hall accessible to all. This has been long overdue and monies have been set aside for this project. It will have a lift to the main hall plus disabled toilets. We will also refurbish the ground floor changing rooms and add a new workshop area. CULTURAL EXCHANGES We will organise cultural exchanges with Malta, Madeira and Morocco. The exchange with Morocco will start in November here in Gibraltar. This will give us a great opportunity to export our art and culture. THE NEW NATIONAL THEATRE AT JOHN MAC HALL We will, as already announced, build the new National Theatre at John Mackintosh Hall. At the same time we will extend other facilities to create a larger cultural hub at the John Mackintosh Hall Complex. This will provide for additional venues and facilities and will allow for the introduction of new cultural activities and for community use. This will also include the extension of our Public Library. A new music library forms part of these exciting plans as does a significant exxtension of the children’s section. Our publc library should be a place of discovery and learning that even our youngest citizens should be keen to visit and explore. GIBRALTAR CULTURAL SERVICES We will strengthen the Cultural Service to be better able to support the many groups and associations and to better co-ordinate and develop cultural activities in Gibraltar. BAYSIDE DRAMA STUDIO We will work to retain the existing Drama Studio at the old Bayside school as a studio and theatre for community use as well as a Community Hall to be run by a joint Trust between Gibraltar Cultural Services and the Jewish Community which has long needed a large Community Hall. THE ARTS AWARDS We will set up the Gibraltar Arts Awards Scheme which will follow a similar format to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards scheme. MAINTENANCE & REFURBISHMENT We will design and roll out a comprehensive, long term programme of refurbishment of all of Gibraltar’s cultural facilities. ART HOUSE CINEMA The redevelopment of the site of the old Queen’s Cinema will include provision for a small Art-House style cinema. This will honour the origins of the site. OLD TIME DANCE CLUBS The redevelopment of the site of the old Queen’s Cinema will also include provision for a facility for our old time dancing clubs in a manner designed to honour that this site was the location of the old Assembly Rooms. REGGAE FESTIVAL In addition to the Jazz and other festivals we already organise, we will seek to create an early summer Reggae Festival. This will be on a smaller scale than the Mega Concert / GMF events we organise around National Week 134 ...aspire to the best Gibraltar
THE ARTS ADVISORY COUNCIL We will set up the Gibraltar Arts Advisory Council (GAAC) to advise Government on matters relating to Culture, to review and monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of Cultural policy and programmes, as well as advising on funding for artists and art organisations..
