Situation
The Barn addresses isolation faced by communities in Aberdeenshire, where geographic remoteness, challenging driving conditions, extreme weather, and limited cultural access hinder social connection. This isolation affects wellbeing and community cohesion. Through creative opportunities and affordable access to the arts, the Barn brings people together, fostering interaction, dialogue, and shared experiences and enriches the cultural fabric of the region.
Solution
The Barn solves this problem by delivering diverse programmes that promote community engagement and cultural participation, creating a vibrant and inclusive arts hub in Aberdeenshire. Over 12000 people engage with events, workshops, festivals, and projects which foster connections, inspire creativity, and support well-being. By ensuring affordability and accessibility, we empower individuals to engage in the arts and build a sense of belonging.
