Role
About the project
Create Community Wealth is an 18-month project, funded through Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective programme, that aims to develop community enterprise projects across Wester Hailes and Muirhouse. The project is a partnership between WHALE Arts and North Edinburgh Arts, working closely with SCOREscotland and Passion 4 Fusion.
The project has two clear aims:
● to support local people to create and produce a range of products/services
● to explore and set up platforms where people can sell their products/services
The project will employ a small team of artists/creative people to work within these communities, supporting local people to develop their ideas and sell and showcase their products and services locally.
Based on our knowledge and experience working in Wester Hailes and Muirhouse, we envisage that these products and services will include locally created crafts, food and drink products, wellbeing services and creative performance-based work.
We also want to create a framework for selling and showcasing the work created which could include regular street markets but may develop into something quite different as the project progresses.
