We support the proposed plan for the University of Canterbury National Conservatorium of Music on the site of Christchurch Art Center.

We support the effort of the University and the City Council towards the revitalization of the city center of Christchurch.

We propose for the whole Centre for Fine Arts, Music and Theatre within the College of Arts of University of Canterbury to be moved to the city center site.

We oppose the opposition campaign by Mr Richard Sinke, the owner of Dux de Lux bar and the organiser of the "Save Our Arts Center" campaign.

More information about the proposed music center and the opposition to it are available at the following links:

    • It's a disgrace that there are some shameless and selfish people who would actually oppose it, human vanity in its extreme.

    • Even though I am currently living in Sydney, I whole heartedly support this proposal as a means of invigorating the Arts Centre as well as maintaining the urban grid of the city, unlike the unfortunate art gallery and its unused park.
