See All EventsCultivating Creative Communities in North East Scotland
NEAT has brought arts and culture experiences to communities across the North East of Scotland since 1985.
We collaborate with rural and urban communities to ensure that live performances and cinema screenings are accessible and affordable to everyone who lives and visits the North East.
Our events are promoted by a network of committed, hard-working and community-focused volunteers who care deeply about providing social and engaging events in their communities.
“NEAT has a fantastic offering. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to attend lots of theatre and cinema because I have lived in cities. Now that I live in the country, I want my children to have that same cultural experience; that’s where NEAT has been excellent”. (Audience Feedback)
We really appreciate your support.
Our mission is to deliver exceptional performances, screenings, and creative experiences to rural communities. We firmly believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to connect through culture, regardless of their age, background, or postcode.
Your support directly expands our reach across the region, allowing children to experience the magic of live theatre through our Theatre in Schools Programme. It also empowers our dedicated volunteer promoters, who breathe life into events throughout villages and towns.
Our initiatives foster community connections, combat isolation, and enhance overall wellbeing. We provide training and support to local groups, equipping them to create sustainable creative activities that unite families, young people, and older individuals in warm, inviting spaces.
By donating to NEAT, you play a crucial role in keeping culture vibrant in rural areas. Together, we can cultivate communities where everyone can share in extraordinary arts experiences.
