Radical Banner Making for Radical Youth is a free, creative workshop series for queer young people (ages 16–24), hosted at Birnam Arts this June. Together, we’ll explore activism through the art of banner-making—crafting protest quilts, flags, and statements that reflect what matters most to us. Whether you join for one session or all three, you'll be part of building a new queer community in rural Perthshire, discovering Birnam Arts as a safe(r) space for expression, solidarity, and creativity.
Using recycled and new materials, we’ll cut, sew, glue, and iron together our thoughts and messages—celebrating queer resilience, visibility, and power. The project includes a final Sharing Celebration and a photographic zine to give legacy to the work we create together.
No experience is needed, just bring your voice, your energy, and your radical spirit.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
This is a lovely light and welcoming building with a cafe and library during the day and some really excellent concerts and shows of all genres mostly in the evening. It's an intimate space but with capacity for several hundred people and tends to be competitively priced. It relies on volunteer support and is an excellent community hub.
