ATLAS Arts organises arts projects in Skye, Raasay and Lochalsh. As part of the community, ATLAS Arts supports a programme of long term artist commissions, educational projects, events, residencies, screenings, workshops and gatherings. The vision is of a world where many ways of thinking, being and creating are celebrated. A world where everyone is able to experience the arts as a meaningful part of their lives and learning.
