02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Established and run by a volunteer collective of artists, writers, academics, filmmakers and musicians, Outwith Festival continues in 2024 to champion Dunfermline’s cultural life. We believe a city with Dunfermline’s history and creative heritage must offer accessible outlets for artistic expression — both popular and experimental — so that residents can participate in, and contribute to, an ongoing cultural conversation. Our work responds to local need: as public arts provision in schools and elsewhere is reduced, affordable local access to workshops, gigs, talks, theatre and film becomes ever more essential if Dunfermline is to sustain and expand its creative economy. Outwith provides that access: a place of exchange where artists present new work and the community can engage with it close to home.
