Short description
Kilden and the previous Statens hus (Kanalgården) in the centre of Arendal are to be altered so that they function as a joint arts building. Arendal Municipality is co-locating offers to youths, the school of arts and voluntary cultural life. Housing the school of arts' activities in Kanalgården, which is connected to Kilden, will allow considerable co-use. The 2 buildings will, amongst other things, have large rehearsal rooms, teaching rooms, concert premises, youth club, activity rooms for dance, art, multimedia and film, as well as a theatre hall.
