Company
background
Giant
is a professional children's arts development
organisation based in Glasgow, Scotland . The
company was founded in 1989 to deliver the Children
and Young People's events as part of Glasgow 1990
City of Culture . Since then the company has moved
to producing its own work as well as programming
events.
We
have charitable status and are a company limited
by guarantee.
Who
we work with
We
work with children under twelve years of age.
This is a huge age-range so sometimes we focus on narrower age-ranges, for example
3-5 year olds, 6-8 year olds etc. Some work is specifically for
children other work involves families and carers
too.
Where
we work
Giant
has worked in all sorts of places. Our priority
here is to find somewhere that is accessible (staff
and venue), friendly and safe. Sometimes
we work in schools, museums, galleries, arts centres,
community
centre and even on buses, it depends on the project!
We are based in Glasgow but work across Scotland and beyond.
Our
staff
Giant
projects are run by a combination of core staff
and freelance artists. All of our artists
are experienced in their specialist art form and
in working with children. They
all have enhanced disclosure and their first priority
is to create a safe and exciting environment for
everybody to enjoy.
How
we are funded
Giant is project funded by Glasgow
City Council and the Scottish Arts Council. We also receive funding from a variety of charitable trusts and foundations.
