Stills is really committed to helping audiences access the vast range of creative opportunities it offers through its workshops, courses, events and exhibitions.

As part of this commitment to the people who use Stills and who will use us in the future, we have devised Re:Create: an audience development project with Stills, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and Edinburgh Printmakers.

Re:Create is an audience-focused project which helps us put the customer at the centre of everything we do.
• Re:Create is a city wide project to encourage people to come and use the creative facilities at Stills, Edinburgh Printmakers and Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop.
• In Re:Create high quality participative activities are devised and led by artists to enable the widest possible audience to have the best possible creative experience.
• It provides a framework for artists, audiences and arts professionals to come together to create, criticise and discuss art through a diverse range of activities in a supportive environment.

If you’d like to take part in a workshops, led and devised by artists based at Stills, Edinburgh Printmakers or Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, or have an idea for a workshop you are interested in delivering to a specific audience, please contact Jan or Maria, at recreate@stills.org or 0131 622 6200.

You can also join the Re:Create mailing list and receive information about future events.

What is audience development?
‘Audience development is a continual, actively managed process in which an organisation encourages each person to develop confidence, knowledge, experience and engagement across the full breadth of the artform to meet their social, intellectual, emotional and spiritual needs and achieve their full potential.’ Morris Hargreaves McIntyre
Who are we doing it for?
