Are you an artist/creative practitioner of any kind based in South Lanarkshire? Come to the first public meeting of the newly formed South Lanarkshire Arts Collective.
Whether you’re a visual artist, performer, writer or maker of any kind based in the area, you are warmly invited to join us on Sat 31 October 2026, from 3pm – 4pm. The South Lanarkshire Arts Collective is a new initiative led by a small group of local artists, looking to build a creative support network to make sure we can all thrive. This meeting is a chance make positive connections with each other and to explore how an arts collective might serve our community.
The session will include:
- Introductions and hearing about people’s creative practice and projects
- A consultation on the support needs of local artists including wellbeing
- Sharing ideas on how the arts collective should be run and be funded
They hope that this will be the beginning of a space for creative solidarity and encouragement, with local artists taking genuine ownership of the group. Absolutely all local artists are welcome, no matter your creative discipline or whether your art is part of any paid work. Westburn Social Art School have kindly made a monthly space for us as we form. WSAS wecomes creatives 1 – 3pm every last saturday of the month.
