Stirling Culture Collective 2026

We are delighted to announce that Stirling Photography Festival are a host partner in Stirling’s new Culture Collective.

At the heart of our Culture Collective is a simple but powerful idea: that professional artists, given time and genuine relationships with communities, can create something that neither could achieve alone. Over 18 months, artists embedded within each host organisation will work alongside local people to co-create participatory arts experiences shaped by those communities — building creative skills, deepening connections, and leaving something lasting behind.

Details of the Culture Collective will launch later this year through Stirling’s Place Partnership, Scene Stirling, and we will share our involvement through our social media. Be sure to follow us!
