Art Is Everywhere: A Weekend Celebration

Activity: Participating in or organising an event typesPublic Engagement – Festival/Exhibition

Description

To celebrate what we had achieved so far in Art Is Everywhere, North Lanarkshire Council ran a weekend celebration at Bellshill Cultural Centre.

There was a full programme of events and workshops to get involved in. A key part of Art Is Everywhere was connecting with artists living and working in North Lanarkshire. We wanted to fill the area with amazing art that was accessible and everywhere. To get the ball rolling, we invited artists to apply for grants to produce work that is relevant to their community and made people think differently about what art is. We managed to fund eight projects in the fields of photography, film, community arts, dance, mixed-media and performance art.

Throughout the weekend, the public got to hear from the artists involved, take part in workshops with them, see some of them perform and get up close with the people who made it happen.
