Based at the Craigmillar Arts Centre, the project works with groups and individuals in the Craigmillar community, helping people to accomplish art projects, whilst focusing on environmental issues – ‘environment’ in this case can mean natural or man-made.

In the past, the Arts and Environment Project has been involved in creating community gardens, painting murals, and creating a metal memorial tree for inside Richmond Church. The project also works with charities like Enable, helps to put together the Craigmillar Arts float for the Edinburgh Festival Cavalcade, as well as organising a summer Wildlife Club and Craigmillar’s annual Gardening Competition.
