Coffee Cadenzas - Community Coffee Concert Series!
1 comment North Coast
<p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> <p>'Coffee Cadenzas' is a community project with the aim to bring members of the community together through the joy of art and music.<br /> We are proposing an 8-week coffee concert series, starting on the 21st of October 2023 and ending on the 16th of December 2023.<br /> The concerts will be held in the main gallery of the Barony Centre, West Kilbride. This is an opportunity for audience members to connect with others, support local venues such as the Barony Centre and experience arts and culture in the local community. All concerts will be every Saturday from 10:15am - 12:15pm, commencing in October.</p> <p>What will it look like:<br /> Members of the public will have free access to the Barony Centre and will enjoy the immersive experience of sound and visual arts work harmoniously together. All whilst networking with other members of the community of all ages over a cup of coffee from the Barony Cafe.<br /> We want to break the restrictions of classical traditions and offer members of the public the choice of how they want to experience the event. This will be freedom of movement, providing areas where participants can talk, solely listen to the music or find a quiet corner to reflect.</p> <p>Supporting this project will allow members of the public to access arts and culture for free, breaking down the barriers often experienced for those accessing the arts. The overall project will offer health and wellbeing benefits to the communty, by providing a hub for socialisation and connection in the local area. </p>
SeaSalt Streets Pop-Up Events / Re-Building Community Spirit
1 comment Three Towns
<p>SeaSalt Streets have, as part of their vision, a longing to bring life and vitality into Saltcoats and in particularly to the heart of the town centre. We have successfully completed most of the vision created by the group, a vision inspired through extensive public consultation with members of the local community and beyond. One part of the initial vision remains unfulfilled -- the use of pop-up events as a means of building community spirit and ownership, a series of "different" one-off events to inspire others to think out of the box and to bring people into the town centre thereby stimulating economic growth. The events will also be used as an opportunity for SeaSalt Streets to showcase their group, it's vision for the future and as a recruitment tool for new members.</p>

We are hoping to work in partnership with local community groups offering lunches or cooking classes, and can then be given away with participants.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
