WELCOME TO WHALE Arts Agency
Wester Hailes Arts for Leisure and Education
'One of Scotland's most successful community arts organisations.'
Sunday Herald 2003
... a voluntary sector, charitable organisation based in Wester Hailes in Edinburgh. Established in 1992 as part of the community regeneration process, in 2000 we moved in to the purpose built WHALE Learning Centre.
WHALE provides access to supported, professionally led arts activities for enjoyment, skills development and personal growth.
Our mission is: to enable all people living in Wester Hailes and the surrounding area to participate in and learn about the arts, harnessing the benefit for personal and community development.
WHALE UPDATE

Bring a Poem to WHALE
This February, we're joining in with the rest of the city to Carry a Poem. Edinburgh’s annual City of Literature reading campaign will give away thousands of free books & poetry pocketcards, and there’ll be a month of poetry events. At WHALE, we're asking everyone who comes to see us in the month of February to bring their favourite poem and post it in our Poetry Post Box. At the end of the month, we'll type them up and display them in an exhibition.
You can read more about WHALE's involvement on our events page.
And visit the Carry a Poem web-site to find out more about what's going on across Edinburgh here:
