Support us
Help more people across Shetland experience, create and connect through the arts, regardless of income, age or location.
Your generous donation could mean that:
- Children and young people can explore creativity, develop new skills, and build their confidence
- Families and individuals on low incomes can enjoy performances, films and workshops without cost being a barrier.
- Artists and creatives can develop and share work locally, sustaining Shetland’s creative life.
- People who are facing isolation can connect with others through shared cultural experiences.
- Communities across Shetland can take part in creative activity close to home.
Every gift makes a difference and any amount is welcome. Generosity at every level opens doors for people. For example:
- £10 could subsidise a ticket for someone unable to afford the cost
- £25 could provide materials for a creative workshop
- £50 could help bring activity to people living remotely
- £100 could support artist fees for a participatory project
