Who We Are
Halo Arts is a community-focused production company delivering high-quality, inclusive projects that engage and empower communities.
We work to make the arts accessible to all, with a particular commitment to young people, people with additional needs, and communities facing disadvantage.
Accessible to All
Age, background, ability or income shouldn't decide who gets to take part.
A Wide Creative Range
Projects, productions and events across a range of arts from drama, music, dance, visual art, multimedia and more.
The Arts as a Tool
We use creativity for education, personal development and social change, not as an end in itself.
Built on Partnership
We work with schools, local organisations and community groups to widen access together.
Making the arts accessible to all
Our Mission
To educate, enhance lives and encourage long-term positive change in the community by using the arts as a vehicle.
- Create solutions that empower communities.
- Promote transparency in every charitable.
- Encourage kindness.
Our Vision
Communities where everyone has a creative outlet and a genuine route into the arts, whatever their age, background or ability.
We want participation to build confidence, skills and belonging, and we want the people who take part to be able to go further, into training, freelance work and careers.
Who We Are
Halo Arts delivers a diverse range of projects, productions and community events across central Scotland, giving people of all ages and backgrounds the chance to take part in drama, music, dance, visual art, photography and more.
Our work includes youth theatre programmes, schools tours, youth arts hubs and community events. We also provide full production support to partners and clients, which allows us to keep delivering free and low-cost provision in the communities that need it.
Everything we do is built around a simple idea: that participation in creative activity helps people build confidence, develop new skills and express themselves in a supportive environment. We’re committed to using the arts as a tool for education, personal development and social change.
