Creative Leith collaborates on ‘Love Leith’ bruncheon

LEITH CREATIVE Project Launch
Saturday 14 February 2015, 11.30 – 3.00pm
It’s been a quiet start of the year for Citizen Curator but we are back this month with some interesting new collaborations …
Leith Creative
In partnership with LeithLate we are launching Leith Creative at a very special ‘Love Leith’ Creative Bruncheon in conjunction with Out of Blue Drill Hall.
Leith Creative is a research project investigating the cultural resources and creative industries that make up the wider area. As part of this we have been talking to some of the creative hubs that inhabit Leith, but to find out more we want to hear from individual artists and organisations living, or working, in the area. What are the success you have had or challenges that you face?
To find out more … 
Join us at the Drill Hall on Dalmeny Street for informal networking, where a host of family friendly Bruncheon treats will be available from the OOTB café, as well as live music from local Leith musicians, curated by William Douglas.
This is a free event but booking is appreciated.
If you can’t make it on the day, remember to fill out and share this online survey.
Also remember to check out our new Leith Creative facebook page for future events.
