Arts development
The Arts Development Section develops a variety of activities and projects to make the arts more accessible to the local community.
We do this through providing everything from courses, projects, workshops and master classes as well as one-off activities and events, such as theme days, summer schools, concerts and festivals including the 'Young at Heart Festival' every March and the annual 'Summer Arts are ACE' programme.
Our wide ranging programme of arts courses and classes is designed to accommodate all needs, ages and abilities and runs in four terms commencing in August, October, January and April each year (three terms at East Kilbride Arts Centre). The Arts Development Team regularly work with national arts companies to provide outreach programmes to support the events and performances within the venues. Further information is available in our arts development brochure and in the ACE children's activities programmes.
