Make – Narture CIC

Narture began in June 2020, founded by artist father-and-daughter team Robert and Saskia Singer. Built on the belief that everyone is an artist and that creativity can transform communities, what started as a project occupying empty town-centre spaces has grown into a social enterprise rooted in food, creativity, and wellbeing.

Today, Narture is bringing new life to Ayr’s High Street by transforming derelict buildings into places where people can make, learn, gather, and grow. Through creative, community-focused projects, the organisation creates opportunities for people to connect, share ideas, and shape the places where they live.

Make is a creative residency studio and gallery that provides space for artists to experiment, exhibit, connect, and collaborate with the community through workshops and events. The venue acts as both a creative hub and a platform for artistic exploration, supporting artists at different stages of their practice.

Currently, the Blank Space Artist Residency is running from June to November, welcoming two local, two national, and two international artists to take over the studio for one month each. During their residencies, artists are encouraged to test new ideas, develop their practice, and share their work with the wider community through engagement activities and creative exchange.
