An award-winning creative producer of cultural events and activities, our work is rooted in the communities of Moray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We strive to create high-quality and accessible cultural experiences, including the biennial Findhorn Bay Arts Festival. We have established a year-round programme for people of all ages and abilities and our work has been a driver to the rise of tourism in the area contributing over \u00a3860,000 to the local economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past decade, we have forged strong partnerships with funders, stakeholders, artists, and creative practitioners and, most of all, our local communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our partners are wide-ranging and include community groups, Moray Council, Moray Community Planning Partnership, Moray Speyside Tourism, VisitScotland, Creative Scotland, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and The Scottish Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a regional and national level, we have won awards for playing a major part in the community and creative regeneration of our area as well as winning awards for our contribution to the cultural sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will continue to encourage access to and participation in our activities from as wide a constituency as possible \u2013 and are committed to removing any barriers or identifying ways to proactively connect with groups and individuals who find it harder to be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
