North Edinburgh Arts; Creating the space where people can.
North Edinburgh Arts offers local residents a place to relax, explore, learn, meet, share, volunteer and have fun in. We are open, accessible and flexible, and with a buzz of possibility. A creative place where local residents can make connections, share ideas, build trust, learn together, support each other, make and see art and take creative risks. We aim to be at the centre of a kinder community using the arts to make a sense of support, worth, place and purpose.
Why the community needs usOur impact on the communityLast year over 34,000 visits were made to the venue that 'floats like a bright bubble behind the Muirhouse. Over 30 hours of creative workshops are on offer each week, most with a family focus, alongside a wide range of other events to include exhibitions, dance shows, circus skills workshops, community theatre, poetry readings and film clubs. The venue is also home to Muirhouse Link Up and Tinderbox Orchestra who are working and connecting creatively with young people & families living locally.
