Art in the South of Falkirk

Launched in mid 2013 by [Untitled] creator Craig Allan, Falkirk Art Map provides a way of documenting and promoting voluntary/amateur art groups, events, venues and landmarks across the entire Falkirk District, the aim of providing an easy accessible guide to Falkirk's rich cultural landscape. Currently proudly displaying the locations of over 40 arts and crafts groups ranging from metal detecting groups to sculpture, the art map aims to have a marker depicting the arts in every town and village throughout the district. Local members of art groups are encouraged to get in contact with Craig at the address provided below to have their group placed on the Falkirk Art Map.



The mission to have at least one arts or crafts group from every town in the district, requires groups to come forward and make their group know about regardless of how small and amateur it is. One first glance of the current Falkirk Art Map it is evident that groups in the South of Falkirk, need to start filling the blank space that is currently the towns of Maddiston, Avonbridge and Hallglen. If you are a member of a group operating in these towns then Falkirk Art Map wants to hear from you.


The Art Map is produced with the support of [Untitled] and the Voluntary Arts Ambassador for Falkirk, created entirely for free with the intention of mapping Falkirk's groups, opening them up to new members and a wider audience. 


More information on the Falkirk Art Map can be found in the next issue of [Untitled] and on Facebook, like the page here.

Bonnybridge Camera Club



BONNYBRIDGE CAMERA CLUB

We were originally formed in 2008 and based in Greenhill Community Flat under the name Vale of Bonny Photography Society our aim then was for like minded enthusiasts to meet up and go for walks and take photos.
In 2011 we moved to Bonnybridge Education Centre and changed our name to Bonnybridge Camera Club which we felt was less off putting for beginners and potential members.
We meet every Thursday from 7-9pm in Bonnybridge Community Centre. We currently have around 12 members and new faces are always welcome. Our ethos is based on equality and diversity, open to all comers of all abilities .
Our membership is pretty enthusiastic and we provide practical tuition on camera techniques etc, we believe that all of our members have something to offer.
We are fairly informal and regularly organise outings which are well attended and greatly enjoyed.
