We believe that 'It's my Place' is a project that supports those objectives by bringing together professional artists from Poland and Scotland in a community based art project. The invited artists and art students will run a number of workshops and master classes to engage members of communities from regeneration areas in Edinburgh and transform their experiences of place into works of art.

Young artists taking part in the project will have an opportunity to gain valuable experience in a community work and a chance to work on a 'live' project. Professional artists will be supporting the community and the students at all times offering their advice and guidance.

The project offers a valuable assistance, a fresh eye, creative input of artist of different nationalities and talents into the space of a neighbourhood.

The project will run for two months and will be carried out in two stages; the first month will be based in Craigmillar/ Edinburgh and the second in Krakow. In the future we are planning to expand our project and involve other places in Poland and Scotland or even in the whole United Kingdom.
