stART Festival 2007
The 2007 stART Festival was held on Saturday 24th March and Sunday 25th March, 2007.
It is probably Britain's largest participatory arts festival, and was a great success.
There was a booking fee of only £1 per Festival workshop, and all materials were
provided free of charge.

stART Festival 2005
The second stART Festival took place over a single weekend in March 2005 and opened
its doors to people of all ages. Building on the success of 2003, there was also
Capoiera, Pavement Art and a fire sculpture with procession in Larghan Park. |

| stART Festival 2003
The first stART Festival took place in September 2003, led by Kirsty Duncan and
Kirstie Bailey, two cultural coordinators for Perth and Kinross Council. At that
point, if anybody wanted to try a new arts activity they had to travel to Perth
or Dundee. Among the activities on offer were animation, stage fighting and the
construction of a labyrinth in Alyth aimed primarily at young people. |

stART has also been active in between festivals. Members of the committee were
invited to make and carry a banner in Edinburgh at the opening of the Scottish Parliament.
stART also organised tree dressing for National Tree Dressing Day and has been
active in supporting local community groups who wish to have the arts as part of
their programme of events. And the spirit of the festival also feeds cultural
activity in everyday life all year round.
