WHALE Arts is the cultural anchor organisation for Wester Hailes, set up by local people in 1992. 

WHALE Arts is a building-based and place-based community-led charity and social enterprise which acts as a conduit between the community and creative opportunities through the delivery of projects, programmes and events and by connecting the community with city and national partners. 

WHALE Arts work hard with partners to share and celebrate the quality creative and cultural projects that happen in the area and to build upon these successes to inspire and empower residents, workers, artists, and designers to continue to demonstrate the power of creativity as a driver of social change.
