Deveron Projects, Arts organization in Huntly, Scotland
Deveron Projects is an arts organization in central Huntly that displays contemporary art across more than 80 locations throughout the town, including schools, churches, and the railway station. The exhibitions and programs happen directly in the community rather than in a single building.
The organization was founded in 1995 and grew from a local arts group into an international residency program with hundreds of completed projects. This expansion reflects how the organization built connections between visiting artists and the town over time.
The organization follows a 50/50 methodology, balancing international artistic perspectives with local community interests through exhibitions, workshops, and collaborative ventures.
Artwork and programs are spread throughout the town, so walking around Huntly helps you discover exhibitions at different locations. You can join workshops and events that change depending on the season and current programs running.
The annual Slow Marathon connects physical activity with artistic expression by having participants contribute walked miles toward shared community goals. This event shows an unusual way the organization brings together art and community engagement.
