Craigmillar: a deprived and much maligned public housing estate in East Edinburgh during the 1960s. A mother asks the local head teacher if her young son can learn to play the violin. When her request is refused, she sets about organising a community arts project, the seeds of which travel the world, winning international acclaim for using arts as the catalyst for social caring and social change. This is Craigmillar’s story.
The award-winning Arts the Catalyst was produced for the City Art Centre’s exhibition to explore and celebrate the role of the arts as a catalyst in the regeneration of socially excluded communities.
