Creative Stranraer focuses on supporting innovation and change in the historic town of Stranraer and the surrounding areas, using art and creativity to engage with the community and as the driver for change. We use creativity to connect people with their local environment, working in partnership with local and regional organisations to develop new opportunities and projects, encouraging communities to take part in cultural and creative activities to support a new vision for town. Our mission is to use the creative arts to connect, empower, inspire and upskill our community, raising aspirations, building self-esteem, reducing isolation and enhancing wellbeing.
