WEST LOTHIAN ARC

Hosted by Firefly Arts, West Lothian ARC is a project that aims to place arts and culture at the heart of West Lothian social and economic recovery. We will be bringing together artists and communities as a part of Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective programme. We aim to address barriers and perceptions of inclusion, equality and empowerment whilst creating sustainable cultural partnerships.

CULTURE COLLECTIVE

West Lothian ARC is part of the Culture Collective programme. The Culture Collective Fund awarded £6 million of Scottish Government emergency COVID-19 funds through Creative Scotland to 26 organisations in February 2021. Alongside delivering locally-rooted, participatory creative activity across Scotland, a distinctive feature of the Culture Collective is the opportunity for the 26 member projects to come together as a network. This brings opportunities to learn together, to share experiences, and to amplify the impact of this part of our creative sector.
