WORLD COMMUNITY ARTS DAY, 17 FEBRUARY 2009
"The
arts have inspired, united and energised communities all over the world.
From
the accessibility of our European Cities
of Culture to the spirit of the Venezualan Youth Orchestra people have enriched
their lives through
music, theatre and art.
In Craigmillar that lesson was learned four decades ago and I know its still
as active today as when I came across it in the early seventies.
In a time of huge social change and despair we need that inspiration more than
ever and I wish the World Community Arts Day every success."
