The 7th World Community Arts Day will take place on Sunday 17 February, and anyone can get involved.

The ethos of this special day, is ‘Arts as a catalyst for caring and sharing’, and the aim is to create a ‘World festival society for a day’.

The Edinburgh-based organisers are asking anyone and everyone to do an arts project, however small or big, on 17 February. You could sing, dance, make a piece of theatre, draw, paint, write, make something, take a photograph, give a lecture – anything that you feel is creative! In previous years, World Community Arts Day has attracted participants from Brazil, Slovenia, Australia, USA, Ireland, Mexico and many more.
