This is the Future Culture podcast. In 2021 the Culture Collective programme was created, establishing a network of 26 participatory arts projects, shaped by local communities alongside artists and creative organisations, funded by Creative Scotland.

Since then, they have embarked upon an event series entitled Starting Points, exploring pertinent themes to community-based art projects within the network. This podcast will explore what comes next! What does the future hold for creatives and their importance for communities across Scotland as we go forward?

We will be speaking to the people steering these projects from the length and breadth of Scotland about what will influence and inspire their work and their communities. We’ll be exploring subjects such as environment, wellbeing, language, investment, minoritization and much much more.
