ArtRoots is a community fund in Scotland supporting artistic improvements to traffic-free paths along the National Cycle Network. It offers grants of up to £5000 p.a. for community-led art projects that enhance neighborhoods and promote active travel.

Transport Scotland funds the projects through Sustrans, and the goal is to involve local communities in designing and creating the artworks, making the active travel network more attractive to both locals and visitors. The funded projects can range from temporary installations to permanent features like sculptures, murals, and more.

The Ayrshire College Foundation Collaborating Communities Fund supports community projects with educational benefits for Ayrshire. They granted £5000 to the Alloway Tunnel project, providing opportunities for college students to gain work experience.

Art and Design students participated in a logo design competition and will work on the tunnel mural. Social Science students researched Ayrshire's history for the storyboard. Business students contributed to the business plan, website, and social media strategy. Construction students will prepare the site, and Tourism students will promote the travel route. The fund enables collaborative projects like this, aligning with the Foundation's goals.
