Moray Art Centre and Kinloss Abbey Trust

Rekindle Kinloss

Rekindle Kinloss is a project developed by Moray Art Centre in partnership with Moray Council, Kinloss Abbey Trust, Historic Scotland and other members of Moray Heritage Connections to revitalize the site of Kinloss Abbey for the benefit of local young people and wider community. Through the project, young people have been participating in the study of history and archaeology and the organization of related exhibitions and educational events.
 
This project was designed to stimulate learning about heritage while offering a new focus for the community to come together under a shared purpose. The project provides new opportunities for a wider range of young people aged between 13 and 25 to acquire knowledge about their local cultural heritage and develop useful transferable skills. Since the start in November 2011, the steering group of young people has been involved in activities including field work, graphic design, film making, architectural drawing, archaeological illustration and tours to local sites.
The closing of Rekindle Kinloss will be an exhibition at the Moray Art Centre with the material gathered by the young people during the project.
