Aberdeenshire Voluntary Arts Training & Information day
The event is to launch an Aberdeenshire wide project - Finding Creativity. We will be working with the hundreds of arts volunteers and local groups in our communities to find and promote Aberdeenshire’s vibrant voluntary arts sector, working with partners to provide training and support, to enable Voluntary Arts to thrive.
Please see the Finding Creativity Flyer for further information.
We anticipate approximately 80 people attending this first event so places are limited to two members from each arts group.
Please share this information with other Arts Groups and with your networks.
