The company has always placed the arts, people and learning at its core of its work. Much of the work of the company has been in communities across Scotland but we have also delivered projects in Ireland and South Africa.
The artistic mission of the company is to: Work creatively with people in Scotland and Internationally to invent and deliver projects which allow communities to tell and re-tell their stories using a variety of different art-forms. All of our work is underpinned by a cultural planning methodology. Cultural planning is a cross-sectoral approach to sustainable community/city/rural development which puts people and culture at its core. Cultural planning is a process developed through a series of socially engaged creative projects. Cultural planning reaches right to the grass roots. It flourishes if supported by policies and resources from the top down. Cultural plans are developed at the grass roots and supported at local and national level by existing public, private and voluntary sector bodies in strategic partnerships. A Brief History from 1990-2006 Over the years many new models of practice have grown from Fablevision projects. Nineteen ninety, Glasgow City of Culture year was a watershed year for Fablevision. Projects like "Birds of Paradise" and "Ruchazie! Ruchazie!" set the pattern for the future development of the company as well as those spin-off projects, which were amongst the most sustainable long term legacies of that historic year. In 1999 Fablevision worked in partnership with the people of Royston to save the Townhead Spire one of the last remaining features of their much changed community. A project was created called the Royston Road project. The Royston Road project is an example of what can be achieved when artists work with people alongside a cross section of other agencies and organisations. To find out more about the Royston Road Project please go to our current projects section. Whilst continuing to produce ground breaking, cutting edge projects which impact on education, health, social inclusion, regeneration, interculturalism and the built environment, Fablevision is dedicated to partnership working. Over the last three years Fablevision has delivered one of the most innovative and exciting arts programmes in Scotland entitled Creative Communities. Creative Communities was based on cross sector partnerships. People have played the biggest part gaining confidence, community cohesion and a sense of achievement through involvement in these wide-ranging and innovative Fablevision projects. 2005 marks the 21st Anniversary for the company and an exciting time ahead. Fablevision is leading the way as an arts organisation which is which is focussed on grass roots, socially engaged cultural processes. Exciting new projects are developing at Fablevision.
