We are really excited to share with you we have been awarded a Creative Communities grant from Inspiring Scotland for a project called Our Place, and you are invited to participate.
‘Our Place’ will be a year-long celebration of creativity, it will celebrate community, and empower local people of all ages and backgrounds to explore their artistic potential.
‘Our Place’ is a space for everyone in the local community to access and share their skills, create, and express themselves. Through accessible, high-quality workshops, performances, and collaborative learning experiences, we will foster an inclusive environment where you can develop new skills, express yourself confidently, and connect with others.
‘Our Place’ will:
- Champion creativity as a vital part of wellbeing, learning, employability, and community life.
- Provide diverse cultural opportunities—from visual arts and music to writing, filmmaking, crafts, and performance.
- Remove barriers to participation, ensuring our programme is welcoming, affordable, and open to all.
- Support local tutors and emerging talent, enabling skills development, confidence-building, and artistic growth.
- Celebrate community stories and voices through monthly themes, shared projects, and collective cultural expression, offering opportunities for local people to gain experience of performance and exhibition.
Most of all, it’ll be fun! Whether you’ve always wanted to paint, play music, act, write or just be creative, there will be something for you!
At The Gorebridge Community Development Trust, we believe creativity belongs to everyone—and together, ‘Our Place’ will light the way for a thriving, connected, and culturally vibrant community.
We are getting everything ready for you (booking tutors, organising times/workshops, getting the blurb ready). BUT. You can read a little more by clicking here.
