Location: WASPS Creative Academy. Inverness

Organisation: Creativity and Care

Creativity and Care are inviting audiences to join them at WASPS Creative Academy in Inverness on the 24th May for a day-long celebration of a three-year project that has supported creative projects for care-experienced young people across Scotland.

On display will be an exhibition of wide range of creative projects including writing, photography, pottery, glasswork, videos and collages. Two of the young people who have worked with Creativity & Care will be leading workshops on the day, and project partner Abriachan Forest Trust will be providing a workshop for families. There will be live poetry readings, and audiences will also be treated to the premiere viewing of a new documentary ‘The Art of Becoming’, which shares the words and thoughts of the participants set to the glorious countryside from around Moniack Mhor, Scotland’s Creative Writing Centre, and Abriachan Forest. This celebratory day will conclude in the evening with a buffet and the Creativity & Care tutor and participant house band singing original newly recorded songs. 

Exhibitions open 12 noon – 8pm, and anyone interested in attending can view the programme and reserve a spot below.
