Artspace Stirling

Artspace is Artlink Centrals’ dedicated arts programme working with adult participants with diagnosed mental health problems across Stirling.

The programme is designed to support participants in a “pathways to recovery” approach for their mental health, and has been commissioned by Stirling Council Social Care in partnership with NHS Forth Valley. The sessions are delivered in four blocks of around ten weeks per year with a maximum of around ten, depending on the needs of participants. Some activities lead to exhibitions and the project regularly takes part in Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival programming. The activities suit people who are experienced and inexperienced with creative arts and many participants move on to college courses, volunteering and other opportunities. Every block the participant will set their own personal outcome and and will reflect on progress against their own social, wellbeing and creative goals. Participants can be supported to attend initially.
