Partners

Here at WHALE Arts we are a building-based and place-based community-led charity and social enterprise. Our organisation acts as a conduit between our community and creative and cultural projects that happen in the area. We help to harness creative opportunities through the delivery of projects and we work hard with partners to share and celebrate the quality creative and cultural projects that happen in the area. We work with local partners such as The Health Agency and Space & Broomhouse Hub and also Creative and Cultural partners such as Edinburgh Art Festival. (See our partner page with Edinburgh Art Festival HERE.) We do this to build upon these successes to inspire and empower residents, workers, artists and designers to continue to demonstrate the power of creativity as a driver of social change.
