Fair Access Expo:
Community and Applied Arts Practice
Friday 7 June, 10-3:30pm at The Boardwalk, Glasgow G1 1TF
Are you aged 16 – 25 and want to use your creativity to ask questions, share stories and make change? Do you think the arts can change people’s minds, opinions and lives? Are you interested in building leadership and facilitation skills? If the answer is yes, come along to find out more about Community and Applied Arts Practice at our Fair Access Expo.
At this exciting all-day event, we’re inviting you to join practical sessions with experienced community artists to:
- Make Theatre
- Get Moving
- Make Music
- Tell a Story
They’ll share their skills and show you how they work creatively with a range of communities. Come and learn about the stories that matter.
What is Community Arts Practice?
It’s a springboard to careers in teaching, directing, performance making, youth work, community music, arts in health and wellbeing, community education, play work, arts funding, creative learning in arts and cultural organisations and so much more.
