conversations about culture with creatives and communities
We’re calling creatives and other local representatives and individuals from across our communities to join us for a conversation about the place of creativity and culture in Stirling's future.
We will be out and about the Stirling area on the 5th and 6th December gathering the views of artists, creatives, communities and local businesses on how to shape future plans for culture, with open invitations to meetings in Bannockburn, Stirling, Killearn and Callander.
Stirling’s City of Culture bid reminded many people of the extraordinary diversity of creative activity that takes place across the area and underlined how important it is as part of the community’s identity.
It also posed some challenging questions - whose culture are we talking about? Where are the opportunities to get involved? How can communities be empowered to make decisions on cultural activity? Why would creative professionals choose to live and work here?
More importantly, what are we actually going to do about it? Scene Stirling, working with Stirling Council, have been trying to answer these and other questions and are keen to have more voices join the conversation.
We have some ideas we’d like to share and develop through discussion with anyone that has an interest in making communities and individuals more engaged in their creative and cultural life.
Sesssions will be led by Bryan Beattie, Creative Services Scotland, and supported by Scene Stirling and Stirling Council.
Join us at the following events running Monday 5th and Tuesday 6th December across Stirling.
