S Edinburgh Voluntary Arts Fair for 50+, 10 Mar 12

Merchiston Community Council serves the people of Merchiston and surrounding area of South Edinburgh.  We are organising a Voluntary Arts Fair for 50+ from 10.10am - 4.00pm on Saturday, 10 March 2012 to showcase some of the wide range of arts groups and classes available locally.  Music, dance, drama, arts and crafts, creative writing and reading groups are all invited to take part.   Through stalls, presentations, talks, taster sessions and demonstrations we aim to inspire and encourage local people to try out new arts activities and become involved in local groups.   

Funded by Voluntary Arts Scotland's Make a Splash! grant scheme - part of People Making Waves, co-ordinated by Volunteer Development Scotland.   People Making Waves is part of The Scottish Project, which will create a cultural legacy form the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Scotland.  It is supported by Legacy Trust UK and by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland.
