Creative Arts, Music, Hair and Beauty

The Highland 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, and makers. Here, you’ll find a shared focus on sustainability and ethical production and artistic expressions inspired by our rural and island communities. We will spark and nurture your creativity, confidence, and ingenuity, whether that’s in art and design, jewellery, textiles and fashion, music, photography or hair and beauty.
