Matt Baker CEO The Stove Network on placemaking and culture - acknowledging the work of Helen Crummy & the Craigmillar Festival Society. Many countries are running with community arts. Scottish Government must build on the past and the now to ensure communities for the future.


Still buzzing from last night’s launch of the ‘Creative Placemaking Framework’ at Scottish Parliament, led by The Stove Network. Amazing to connect with inspiring folks from Scotland and Ireland. Big shoutout to my incredible comrades Katharine Wheeler and Matt Baker—an inspiration to me everyday.


So this happened. Speaking in parliament last night about creative placemaking. It was a huge opportunity for LIFT and it’s thanks to The Stove Network for inviting me along. The whole experience was surreal. #UnityInOurCommunity #WhatWeDoNow will echo an eternity. #LIFTLegacies
