Creative Arts
The Highlands and Islands is a hub for creativity and innovation. Everywhere you look, you’ll find inspiration – from our jaw dropping landscapes to the history, traditions and people that shape our rich culture and heritage.
Our region is home to a thriving community-based creative arts sector, supported by a collaborative network of artists, designers, musicians and makers.
We will spark and nurture your creativity, confidence, and ingenuity, whether that’s in art and design, jewellery, textiles and fashion, music, or photography. And you’ll be joining a vibrant, innovative industry, which supports the economic and social success of our region.
