Deveron Projects
About
Deveron Projects is a socially-engaged arts organisation based in Huntly, a rural town in north-east Scotland, for almost 30 years. Our work builds deep and meaningful collaboration between artists, communities and places. Over our 29 year history, Deveron Projects has become a socially-engaged arts organisation that embraces internationalism while never losing sight of Huntly, the town we call home. We work collaboratively with artists and local communities in Huntly to develop a creative programme that’s responsive to socio-political issues, consistently refreshing, challenging and hospitable for all involved. We pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve in our methods and the work we produce, maintaining a reputation for innovative environmental and climate focused work, strong fair work practices, embedded community development and collaborative town regeneration, through making art.
Local Information
Our values: Community — We value Huntly as our home, where we live and work. Plural, diverse understandings of this place inform everything we do. Our friendships and relationships across Huntly’s communities are the foundation for our work and lives and must be nurtured, with equity, access, justice and joy. Collaboration — We value mutual exchange and learning, where artists’ and communities’ diverse knowledge, experiences, cultures and skills can be exchanged with equity and friendship, locally, nationally and internationally — working towards a fairer and more just society. Rigour — We value the process of collaborative, responsive art making. We understand that recognising what we don’t know, creating space to work slowly and experimentally, sharing decision. We hold space for rigour and complexity in the detail and the big picture. Solidarity — We value approaches and strategies for actively dismantling oppression in the arts sector, in our rural town and wider society.
