02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Room 13 is unique in the Scottish Highlands - we offer a combination of studio space, high quality equipment, professional creative guidance and a focus exclusively on young people ages 8 – 25 and the visual arts. We aim: • To provide young people across Lochaber with consistent access to creative opportunities shaped by their own ambitions and collective decisions • To enable young people to gain confidence and skills through engaging with the creative process – from experimentation to presentation, as individuals and in collaboration with peers, adult artists and the wider community • To promote the value of creativity in education and support the development of creative practice in educational and community settings. Room 13’s Lead Artist works closely with local primaries and high school staff and pupils and young people throughout Lochaber to develop the Room 13 studios as a shared resource that supports learning and creative education. All Room 13’s activities are free.
