A new initiative delivering arts projects in communities throughout Glasgow will benefit local people and their areas.

Funded jointly by partners including Creative Scotland and Glasgow City Council, the Artists in Communities programme is being introduced by charity Glasgow Life which – through culture and sport – is committed to promoting inclusion, happiness and health to enhance Glasgow’s mental, physical and economic wellbeing.

Building on the success of previous Artists in Residence initiatives, the new programme is designed to transform lives through encouraging and enabling participation in creative and cultural activities. The diverse range of projects which will take place over the coming months span visual arts, music, dance, poetry, storytelling, film-making and more– with activity directed by local needs and priorities and targeted at different groups within Glasgow’s communities.
