    This is not a place for food!

    What a waste! It’s a shame so much perfectly good food gets tossed in the bin.

    This is why we have guest groups volunteering at ACU to combat this problem and feed the people who are hungry.

    Will you look at those visuals?

    ACU is not only a place to party, it’s a place of art!

    That is why, every once in a while, we invite a new artist to exhibit their work in our bar.

    This month’s artist is:

    Iris Veenendaal
