JUPITER+ Ayr Learning Studios

Working in partnership with South Ayrshire Council, and with support from Creative Scotland and Barcapel Foundation, Jupiter has recruited 16-to-18-year-olds from across Ayrshire to form the JUPITER+ORBIT Youth Council. These remarkable young people want to use their creativity to make a difference and are working with school groups in Ayrshire on an artwork showing the change they want to see in their community.

JUPITER+AYR has been made possible through a creative partnership between Jupiter Artland, South Ayrshire Council, Ayr Gaiety Theatre, University of West of Scotland, Edinburgh Napier University, SCAN and Engage with the support from The National Lottery through Creative Scotland and the Barcapel Foundation and our network of schools and colleges across the region.

JUPITER+ aims to tackle the diminishing uptake in creative subjects at school-leaver and higher education levels, with our most ambitious Free Learning Programme to date inspiring the next generation of artists in Scotland. Jupiter’s Learning Team are offering Free Learning visits from September to December. Read more about the offer and book your visit by clicking the button below.

University of West Scotland’s 4th year New Media Art were the first to take part of Jupiter+ Ayr’s Free Learning program – as a collective they produced three short films inspired by Rachel Maclean’s practice. Their works engage with important questions about the cost-of-living crisis, attitudes to those experiencing homelessness & what it feels like to live in a world in which violence against women is prevalent. It was such a pleasure to have Aislinn and here students in the space and be part of the conversations they were having in and around Rachel Maclean’s work and its relationship the High Street it exists on.
