Contacting artists and cultural providers

Bridge Builders is a directory of artists and cultural providers - including heritage (built and natural) - and a reference tool for anyone who is looking to develop creative partnerships.

Looking for artists to work with?

Schools or community groups can search our directory. Are you are looking for a weaver in willow or a storyteller, a musician or a hip-hop dancer? Bridge Builders has an extensive and inspirational list of contacts. You can search by artform or view the whole directory.

Creative practitioner?

Are you an artist or cultural organisation who can work with a school or community group? Sign up for the Bridge Builders directory:

1. Complete the form.
2. Send it to us with your images.
3. We'll contact you if there are any work/training opportunities in the Borders. 
   

Bridge Builders also contains downloadable guidelines for best practice, case studies and a sample contract.
