A picture paints a thousand words – and a video so much more.
So, we’ve put together a look at what Aberdeen Inspired does and how much it delivers for the city centre and for our levy payers.
It hits the high notes of what the Business Improvement District has done in the past five years and what we could do in the five years to come.
We deliver – let’s do it all again.

The end of term is on its way.
And how do you say 'thank you' to the teacher that taught your child each and every day? You could buy them chocolates, candles or wine. But how about a gift that feels more than fine?

So put down those teacher mugs and buy the Aberdeen GIft Card today.
It's the teacher gift that'll make their day!

'Light Within the Darkness' poem writen and painted for @nuartaberdeen
Every time I approach writing a poem for the streets, I seek rhymes that would not only reflect my own experience of existence but also correspond to the whole humanity. Like a colony of ants connected through electromagnetic communication chanels to keep the anthill functional. Only in my anthill are there no kings or queens to rule it. Every ant is unique in its skills and abilities to function freely for the benefit of the anthill, which produces poems when I write. Some ants are responsible for finding letters, some for putting words into sentences & phrases. There are ants that are responsible for rhythms that provide sentences with rhyming abilities, and there are phylosophical crazy ants that constantly argue with each other regarding harmonicity. Once arguments are completed, the working/strongest ants take an action for the poem to be released into manifestation outside the anthill while constantly observing processes of its creation. As soon as the poem hits the streets, all the ants that made this enormous work on the proccesses of creation returns in the depths of the anthill. Some rest and enjoy social unification until it's time for the new poem to be created. Whilst other ants get back straight to work, collecting the speckles of love that flickered of the previous poems. They take it back to anhill, nurture, and allow it to metamorphose in to new born senses for the creation of a new poem. No kings, No queens... just love, respect, gratitude & empathy to keep my anthill functional.
This is how I see and feel my street poetry process.
Greatful for great shots of action and finished piece to Benjamin Parry and @bktallman . Great memory of life, thank you, guys!
