During the summer of 2023 we we were delighted to be able to offer free art workshops for young people in the age range of 8 to 26 years. These workshops are being provided by two local artists, Aimee Labourne and Alex Purbrick. These art workshops formed part of a funded project in which we explored ways to engage young people with their cultural heritage. This project was funded as a follow-on project to the one we ran in 2022, called Cladaichean to Laebraks. Our project was part of a UK wide heritage programme called Outreach to Ownership run by Historic Environment Scotland and Historic England, funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

The workshops run by Alex Purbrick were a huge success and a wonderful collaborative mural was produced by young people from the Brae area. This art work was exhibited at Hymhus in Bigton last winter and spring.
