We are thrilled to announce WHALE Arts has been shortlisted for the 5th Annual Creative Edinburgh Awards in the Social Award category for our Street Arts project!
Street Arts takes art out onto the streets of Wester Hailes with fun, free, creative sessions for young people. Artists collaborate with young people through street-based arts activities including photography, model making, multimedia, printing, dance, parkour, film-making, music, drama, storytelling, beat boxing, poetry, sculpture, drawing and more. We are out on Thursday nights making art with young people aged 5-16 all year round… from warm summer evenings to dark rainy winter!
Street Arts aims to raise aspirations, widen horizons and teach new skills, as well as showing young people that they can create art in their own environment. The Street Arts team supports young people to make a safe and inspiring space to create and play together.
Winners will be announced 10 November 2016 at the Creative Edinburgh Awards & 5th Birthday Bash.
