An art exhibition made up of diverse artists from a range of working class and international backgrounds has opened to the public this weekend in Granton.
The ‘Rooted In Community’ installation will showcase the work of local artists as part of Create Community Wealth - a collaborative community wealth-building project, delivered in partnership between WHALE Arts, North Edinburgh Arts, SCOREscotland and Passion4Fusion. It aims to support local people living in North Edinburgh and Wester Hailes to explore their creative and enterprising ideas, to tackle social exclusion and improve wellbeing and local economic prospects through creativity.
The exhibition is a celebration of community and diversity, highlighting the unique experiences and diverse cultures of people living in North Edinburgh and Wester Hailes. Through their work, the artists explore themes such as community, identity, grief, and mental health, inviting those in attendance to reflect on their own experiences and engage with the world around them.
