Following last year’s successful takeover of the Beacon by lots of little monsters, our Artist will visit local schools to facilitate workshops on the theme of Here be Monsters. The designs generated by the pupils will be made in to spectacular, large-scale projections by TRANCND. These will then be projected at various locations across Inverclyde during October culminating in filling the exterior walls of the Beacon during the Galoshans street party. In addition, the drawings produced will be on display in the Beacon throughout the Galoshans Festival.
Beacon Arts Centre – We passionately believe that cultural experiences are crucial to the wellbeing of individuals and communities. Our vision is to be Scotland’s most influential, accessible and entertaining arts venue and our mission is to make a lasting impact and ‘light up lives’ by giving as many people as possible the opportunity to engage with the arts in enjoyable and meaningful ways. We achieve this through our fantastically diverse programme, our youth theatre and our innovative outreach and engagement work, delivered here in the Beacon and out in the community.
Equality, diversity and inclusion lie at the heart of everything we do.
