Voluntary Arts Week
starts this weekend!

Voluntary Arts Week starts this Saturday, but it's not too late to get involved! As part of the week, we're running the What's in Your Window? campaign, asking anybody involved in the arts and crafts to display something in their window between 12 - 20 May. It could be a painting, piece of quilting, photo of you singing - anything that celebrates the cultural activity you love.


Visit the Voluntary Arts Week website for more details of this and our launch event in Falkirk on Saturday 12 May.
