WHAT THE FESTIVAL AIMS TO DO.
Renfrewshire Leisure’s Libraries and Arts Teams led a vital community consultation on the aims and contents of the Festival.
Local contributors said the Festival should:
● Increase visitor numbers and make Paisley a destination
● Be inclusive and accessible
● Include family events, adult events, industry events
● Develop local creative talent
● Involve Paisley’s people
How can you get involved?
● Be a venue – are you a local business owner with a space that could host some Paisley Book Festival events?
● Be a group host/contributor – are you a local community and/or cultural organisation, project or initiative that has an idea for an event to be part of the Paisley Book Festival programme?
● Be a professional contributor – are you a Scottish artist / creative / organisation with an idea or current strand of activity that fits the remit of the Paisley Book Festival as described above?
If so… read on book lover…
