Cardiff Arts Institute is a Canteen, Social Club & Music Room. A space to explore creative vision and push the boundaries of what it means to live, work and play in Cardiff right now. We want you to join with bands, musicians, promoters, artists, poets, comedians, DJs, thinkers, dancers, performers, creatives and party people on a brand new adventure. We will program the venue with your influence, with what you want to see, with what you want to do. The venue is a joint project between 580 Ltd the people behind Nation of Shopkeepers (Leeds), Start the Bus (Bristol) and The Lock Tavern (Camden) and the Welsh collective Something Creatives who created (Milgi, Secret Carnival, Big Love Inflatable Church & Northcote Lane Market).
