The centre houses six artists in residence and includes a gallery, cafe, art shop, library, and meeting spaces, as well as guest and artist accommodation. It’s also a social space for the arts, with regular exhibitions, talks and seminars welcoming a diverse mix of first time and established visitors.

The building explores the use of earth in construction, using rammed earth, compressed earth blocks and earth bag techniques to create architecture which is literally of its site. Arranged around a central shaded courtyard, with views to a local green area, the spaces are naturally ventilated and provide shade and diffused light for the artists to work.
