Crafting the Arts: A’ dealbhadh nan ealan

Voluntary Arts Scotland’s 1st National Conference
A’ chiad cho-labhairt nàiseanta aig Ealain Saor-thoileach an Alba

Friday 2 - Saturday 3 February 2007
Scottish Storytelling Centre, Royal Mile, Edinburgh

The arts and crafts landscape in Scotland is undergoing a period of change such as the new Culture Bill, cultural entitlements becoming part of government legislation, community planning and the new Creative Scotland body. This is your chance to find out more, and share your thoughts on how the arts in Scotland should develop.

The conference is aimed at anyone who gives up their time to organise arts, crafts or heritage activities; any paid staff who help run such activities; local authority arts officers; arts and crafts practitioners – and anyone who wants to discuss issues which arise in the world of ‘cultural volunteering’.

We start at noon on Friday, with a buffet dinner and ceilidh at night and ends at 4pm on Saturday. Fees are between £50-£135. Thanks to Scottish Arts Council support, financial assistance may be available to attend the conference.
