Greater Shantallow Community yArts<br />
Situated at the heart of community, in the Outer North Area of Derry, Greater Shantallow<br />
Community Arts (GSCA) aims to provide direct access to the arts within disadvantaged<br />
communities and to bring communities from “edge to centre”<br />
into the arts locally, regionally and nationally.<br />
By providing a community arts facility within communities of need, GSCA seeks to<br />
bring the arts, and the potential benefits they represent, much closer to those communities<br />
throughout the city and beyond.<br />
Our aims are: To promote artists and cultural activity, grow audiences, increase<br />
participation in the arts and provide opportunity for communities and individuals to<br />
develop skills and provide showcases for talent using a wide range of art forms and<br />
festivals.<br />
GSCA also acknowledges the transformative power of the arts to assist with problems such<br />
as: social exclusion, isolation, lack of opportunity and poverty and is committed to equality<br />
regardless of cultural background, age, disability, sexual orientation or economic status.<br />
