The Highland Culture Collective is a group of artists, communities and arts organisations across the Highlands of Scotland. From September 2021 to September 2022, five full-time artists in residence will work creatively and collaboratively with some of the communities hardest hit by the pandemic, including, women and young people who have experienced domestic violence; people impacted by the criminal justice system; older people; people with learning disabilities; and Gaelic speakers/ learners. Additionally, one of our artists in residence will explore issues relating to the environment and coastlines in Caithness.
The creative practitioners taking part in this project are:
- Evija Laivina
- Sinead Hargan
- Hector MacInnes
- Catriona Meighan

Lìonra nan Eilean Cruthachail
Tha Lìonra nan Eilean Cruthachail a’ toirt chothroman do chleachdaichean cruthachail ann an Leòdhas, Na Hearadh, Arcaibh, Sealtainn agus Uibhist a Tuath gus gnìomhachdan agus bùthan-obrach a dhealbhadh agus a lìbhrigeadh le daoine sna coimhearsnachdan ionadail aca, le fòcas air a bhith ag obair le seann daoine agus daoine le seargadh-inntinn; daoine le droch shlàinte-inntinn; daoine òga a dh’fhaodadh a bhith air call a-mach air eòlasan foghlaim is sòisealta mar thoradh air Covid-19; agus daoine a dh’fhaodadh a bhith gu sònraichte aonaranach a chionn ’s gu bheil iad a’ fuireach leotha fhèin no a’ fuireach anns na coimhearsnachdan agus na h-eileanan as iomallaiche agus dùthchaile againn. Tha na pròiseactan ag amas air piseach a thoirt air càileachd beatha, slàinte-inntinn is corporra chom-pàirtichean agus choimhearsnachdan tro bhith a’ toirt barrachd cothrom air, agus conaltradh gnìomhach le, nithean cruthachail is sòisealta. Tha am prògram seo cuideachd ag amas air cleachdaichean cruthachail a cheangal thairis air na h-eileanan gus coimhead air dòighean anns an urrainn dhuinn obrachadh còmhla, gnàth-eòlasan a cho-roinn agus na h-ealainean fhighe a-steach anns na coimhearsnachdan eileanach againn. Bidh e na àrd-ùrlar nàiseanta gus cleachdaichean cruthachail agus gnìomhachd chruthachail nan Eilean a bhrosnachadh.
