Welcome to the web-site of Christchurch and District Arts Council (CADArts)

Here you will find information about art events, both visual and performing; details of films at the Regent Centre, meetings and exhibitions by membership groups and a complete diary of dates as they are received. The pages will be updated regularly bringing news of future events and other exciting artistic activities that are on offer in Christchurch and the surrounding area.

There is a wealth of artistic talent in this area and as a co-ordinating body for individuals and organisations (amateur and professional) in all fields of the arts we will endeavour to bring to your attention the latest information

We have a formally adopted Constitution, and are a registered Charity.
