Co-Create is a project to support wellbeing for people within Huntly and the surrounding area through creative activity. The initial six-month consultation phase of the project was intended to research and develop a sustainable arts and wellbeing model in rural areas and show the evidence which will result in access to arts activity for many years to come.
To mark the completion of the initial consultation we would like to invite you to a sharing event to meet Laura Walker, Lead Artist Researcher, and Amy Benzie, Artist Practitioner. The artists will discuss the project and their work, and share their findings. There will be the opportunity to meet other participants who took part in the research and the organisations involved in supporting the project, while engaging with creative activities. Attendees will also be able to learn about the next phase of the project and have their say about future developments.
Participants who have taken part in the creative engagement sessions throughout the project will be able to pick up their fired ceramic works during this event.
This is a free drop-in event, so you are welcome to spend as much or as little time there as you would like. Tea, coffee and snacks will be provided.
We look forward to seeing you there!
