We work with professionals and those in local government to support them in their Continued Professional Development and provide a programme of stimulating events.

" Looking East for fluid ideas was superb, as was Arc's housing conference in 2009 
- I thought these were very well organised and extremely informative. "

Tony Mercer, Architect, East Riding of Yorkshire Council

• 'Doorstep' networking group

'Doorstep' is a networking group of architects based in the Humber region. Facilitated by Arc, we provide a round table platform for exchange and discourse between local architectural practices with an accompanying public programme.

If you are an architect working in the Humber region and would like to join, or if you would like more information, contact us.

• Annual 'Doorstep' open exhibition
  

With sponsorship from NPS Humber, Arc manage a yearly exhibition of regional architects' work. The exhibition is shown at the Arc building before touring the region. The aim is to showcase designs, both realised and unrealised, by local architect practices. The exhibitions support local built environment professionals, and through them Arc hope to raise awareness of their work to local professionals, schools and the general public.
