An exciting opportunity now exists for private and public sector investors to get on board in transforming the Drill Hall into an exemplorary hub for the benefit of local people and the creative industries.
GETTING INVOLVED IN THE CHALLENGE
We are looking for a total of £500,000 to develop the Drill Hall as a resource for artists and the local community. Our brief is for a practical, cost friendly, environmentally friendly, and innovative solution, reflecting our core beliefs: resourcefulness; recycling; flexibility and sound social value.
There are a number of funding opportunities.
At the highest level there is the opportunity to get involved in a creative dialogue and to help shape the whole venture.
Mid scale investors may wish to fund studio or rehearsal spaces for artists and musicians at the very outset of their careers.
Equally support and association with the project can be pledged by being part of a 'buy-a-brick' scheme.
Plus, sponsorship in kind can be just as valuable.
SO WHAT'S IN IT FOR SPONSORS?
(Well, apart from the deep warm glow of making something good happen and an association with some of Edinburgh's most respected and creative artists and musicians), out of the blue can offer a wide range of sponsor and investor benefits.
Indeed, there are unlikely to be many sponsorship or investment opportunities that offer sponsors everything from access to one the country's most exciting, off-beat and left-field night clubs, through to directly connecting with some of Scotland's most excluded and challenged communities.
To set up a meeting to discuss these opportunities further contact Rob Hoon at Out of the Blue on 0131-555-7101 or
