Voluntary Arts Festival 2017

Posted on March 3, 2017

Voluntary Arts Scotland have announced that the next Voluntary Arts Festival will take place throughout the UK Friday 5^th – Sunday 14^th May. They are currently encouraging voluntary and community-led groups throughout Scotland to take part.

The Festival is open to creative groups and organisations of all shapes and sizes. Groups can hold taster sessions, open days, pop-up events or simply advertise their regular activities as part of the Festival.

Last year, hundreds of groups organised events as part of the Festival to attract new members, celebrate their achievements and raise their profile in local media.

Voluntary Arts Scotland have uploaded a short film on the 2016 Festival to their Youtube account, with details on taking part in 2017.

To take part in the 2017 Voluntary Arts Festival, or for further information, please contact Voluntary Arts Scotland by phone: 0131 561 7333, or email: festival@vascotland.org.uk
