Empowering Edinburgh Communities Thorough Heritage and Creativity

"Edinburgh 900" celebrates the rich history, vibrant culture, and enduring legacy of Scotland's capital, marking 900 years of its remarkable journey as a city of innovation, resilience, and inspiration.

Join us in fostering creativity and inclusion for Edinburgh's communities through diverse art projects and engaging activities that inspire connection and reduce isolation.

Art & Seat name was inspired by the great Arthur's Seat!

We aim to uplift and inspire the less-privileged in Edinburgh through the transformative power of heritage and creative activities!

Community workshops and local initiatives bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds, providing them with a platform to express their creativity and share their stories.

Through painting, music, and drama, these participants not only discover their artistic talents but also build self-esteem and forge connections with others in their community.
