In this guest blog, commissioned as part of Culture Commons’ open policy development programme on devolution and increased local decision making, Kathryn Welch reflects on her experience as Programme Lead for the Culture Collective programme, a powerful network of 26 community-rooted creative projects across Scotland initiated by Creative Scotland.

This June, Culture Commons collaborated with partners our partners at the University of Dundee and Culture Counts on an inspiring two-day visit to Dundee as part of 'the future of local cultural decision making' - a major four-nations research and open policy development programme.
