Workshops Week 2019

That the Parliament welcomes the launch of Workshops Week 2019, which runs from 16 to 23 November 2019 and is the first annual celebration of the rich and diverse activity happening all year round that underpins contemporary art production across Scotland; acknowledges the work of the Scotland's Workshops network in creating this event to raise awareness of the unique specialist skills and facilities provided throughout the country, which support the work of visual artists; recognises the contribution that this makes to enhancing Scotland's cultural profile around the world, and acknowledges the impact that this has on communities in Mid Scotland and Fife, and across Scotland, through the learning experiences of young people and the provision of evening classes for adults, youth programmes and schools engagement.
