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. And explore the new opportunities of Bannockburn's maker space. A chance to be a part of the conversation and meet others, whilst supporting the aspirations of a shared creative plan for Stirling

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.
