<nettime-ann> Cube Cinema (Bristol). they own their building now…


.
Cube Cinema (Bristol) have bought their building. It's theirs...

Volunteers behind an alternative arts venue in Bristol are now the building's official owners after raising nearly £200,000 to buy it in less than a year.

The Cube's 150 non-paid staff took up up their landlord's offer to sell it to them if they could raise the amount before the leasehold expired.

David Hopkinson, from the Cube, said it was "very exciting now all the documents have been signed".

He added they would now start their "long planned renovations".
'Total independence'

Mr Hopkinson said: "The Cube project has been built on the principle of being independent since it was set up by artists in 1998.
