We’re proud to be Scotland’s largest combined arts organisation. We present and make work with, by and for the people of the Highlands and Islands and those who visit us.
We have three connected buildings on the banks of the River Ness that collectively span three centuries. We first opened in 1976 and then closed in 2004 for a £25m extension and refurbishment.When we re-opened in 2008 we became one of approximately 50 post-war buildings in Scotland given Category A listed status – this means our building is really special – we agree, come and see for yourself, someone will be happy to show you around.
At our home in Inverness we have two beautiful theatres: The Empire – 869 seats, The One Touch – 275 seats, two multi-purpose studios, two cinemas and three art galleries. We also have lots of permanent public art, inside and outside our building. We don’t just present and make work inside our building.
We do it outside (in the Summer we put-up big stretch tent with a bar and a stage inside) and we do it across the Highlands in communities, in schools and across our incredibly beautiful natural environment.
