Supported by HIE Inverness & East Highland, Arts & Regeneration: Urban & Rural - Two Sides of the Same Coin is a practical and informative session on the enormous social & economic impact of the arts in regenerating our communities being held in The Greenhouse, Inverness on 13 September 2007.

Whether in an urban or rural setting, it's not about 'where' but 'who'. The arts can bring about enormous social and economic change to any area and its people - wherever that may be. This briefing and networking event highlights the importance of the arts in the economic and social development and regeneration of both urban and rural communities; and provides practical advice and support for those involved in project development from an arts or community background.

We demonstrate that whether in an urban or rural setting, it's not about 'where' but 'who' - the arts can bring about enormous social and economic change to any community wherever that may be.

Join us and find out why and how!
