Two exciting opportunities has arisen to support two artists to take up a two week research and development plus shared content creation at Galoshans 2022 as part of Inverclyde Culture Collective.

Galoshans 2022 will present 10 days (21 – 30 October 2022) of creative presentation and engagement, culminating in a weekend-long programme of outdoor celebratory events taking place over the 28 – 30 October 2022. Galoshans festival is a celebration of creativity, culture and performance centred on Galoshans – a traditional piece of folk theatre originating in Inverclyde and performed on feast days throughout Scotland in the medieval times, particularly around Halloween.

Galoshans Festival has grown to become a highlight of the year for culture and community in Inverclyde. Deeply rooted in artistic activity and community participation, the festival uses the unique tradition as a launchpad to explore, promote and champion creative arts locally. Galoshans celebrates Inverclyde’s unique culture while cultivating high quality artistic programming and a strong level of creative community participation. Galoshans takes art and creativity out of conventional venues and into streets, shops and warehouses, transforming Inverclyde into a place that delights and surprises both cultural aficionados and families alike. 2021 website: www.galoshansfestival.com/
