Brief History

On the 11th September 2001 Pure Media UK came into existence, a tiny ray of hope on an otherwise momentously bleak day...

There have been many stories since. The growth of The Ultimate Chill from a wee school event to a national showcase opportunity involving over 3000 in 2006… The radical vision and verve of KenART, which began in Kirkton neighbourhood Centre with seven participants and has since spread across the world with projects happening as far abroad as China…! The enterprise and commitment of all the workers and volunteers, who, over the years, have delivered a remarkable cultural and creative diversity… All the projects and activities we’ve done to date and plan to do in the future are bound by a common ideal:

To empower young people to fulfill their potential as creative individuals
To encourage personal and community development through creativity

So if either of those things interests you or you are simply looking for something exciting to do and if you are interested in meeting other likeminded individuals then Pure Media UK may well be for you.

Give it a try!!
