Get Involved
The Traverse is a hub that celebrates everyone's creativity. We run an extensive year-round engagement programme, offering people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to explore, create and develop their skills.
Our work with artists, young people, schools and our community - both local and further afield - is at the beating heart of the Traverse. We provide a mixture of projects, workshops, events and resources that support well-being and build confidence as well as cultivating artists at all stages of their career, feeding directly into our artistic pipeline.
There are lots of ways to get involved, so come and join us!
