ACVMS was founded in 1996 in response to legislative and funding changes within the arts industry.

Our plan was to share and exchange ideas, resources and information, to review and improve operational practice and to provide a platform to strengthen the position of managers within the arts.

ACVMS provides representation for Cultural Venue Managers and their ancillary staff within the arts industry and to other external bodies to facilitate the professional development and training of its members.

We provide training in Health and Safety, how to create a Family Friendly venue and Disability Awareness to name but a few.
