It was a pleasure to welcome our partners from Elbland Kunsthalle in Riesa to Scotland this week as part of our Re:Found project.Following our visit to Germany earlier this year, this return exchange brought the delegation to Methil and beyond to share ideas, explore communities and learn more about Red Note's approach to place-based and community-led creative work.Supported through Cultural Bridge 2026-27, Re:Found connects Methil and Riesa, two post-industrial communities, through artistic exchange, new music and a shared interest in reimagining underused spaces for culture and community.This is just the beginning, we will back to Riesa in October for a second visit with a Methil delegation. We’re very excited to see where the partnership leads next!This project is funded by #CulturalBridge #RedNoteEnsemble #ReFound #InternationalCollaboration #CommunityArts #CreativeCommunities #NewMusic #Scotland #Germany ...
