The head of the Island's arts body has backed calls for a national cultural centre - and says it's something his organisation is working on.
Geoff Corkish, chairman of the Isle of Man Arts Council, was in Tynwald last week when Garff MHK Daphne Caine suggested a national arts facility was needed.

Mr Corkish says the Arts Council is hopeful such an objective could be achieved in future:
