Join artist-in-residence Jenny Fraser Harris and Stephen Coomber from the Moray Way Association for a thought-provoking walk through Elgin, exploring how our past and present shape the future. Starting at the Plainstones, we’ll step back in time to uncover Elgin’s historic ‘forum’ before journeying through Cooper Park, the Cathedral, and beyond, pausing to personally and collectively reflect, question, and reimagine our role as ancestors of the future.
The walk will conclude at the AIM (Arts In Moray) Showcase at Moray School of Art where we’ll visit the art piece inspired by these themes and you will be invited to contribute to the piece through an optional short writing activity.
Arts In Moray (AIM)
Since June 2021, the Moray Way Association has been part of the Arts In Moray (AIM) Collective, which initially received Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective programme funding. This national pilot programme aimed to establish a network of creative practitioners, organisations, and communities working together to make a positive difference locally and nationally in response to COVID-19.
The AIM collective, which includes Dance North Scotland, Moray Arts Development Engagement (M:ADE), Wildbird, and the Moray Way Association, has employed new and radical approaches to engaging a network of creative practitioners and communities within Moray through residency programmes that have supported artists from 2021 to 2025.
