What We Do

Shetland Arts promotes a year round programme of music, dance, drama, new media, film, literature, visual art and craft.

We own, and or, run a range of facilities and act as promoter for other arts and cultural organisations from across Scotland. We own and run Mareel, a multi arts venue & cinema and Bonhoga Gallery and cafe. We own The Booth which is managed by WASPS and provides space and accommodation for artist residencies. We run the Garrison theatre, owned by the Shetland Charitable Trust, which hosts professional and community drama performances.
