Consultation & Commissioning Process

This project was developed from community level by Pathfinder Partnership in West Fife and through consultation with groups in Clackmannanshire. Local residents and community organisations identified where they would like changes made.
Cross-discipline consultation is proposed through community-based drama and radio broadcasting. Working with different community groups along the cycle route was integral to Graham Fagen’s creative process.

Art in Partnership coordinated the project and managed the commissioning process. Graham Fagen was selected from a shortlist of four artists.
