We’re of our place and for our community. We aspire to be an island voice in a national and international conversation. Our heritage is ancient and our future unwritten. We are a beacon, shining light out into the world and guiding the way back to Mull. We create and support art that is brave, complex, generous and full of heart, born of difficult questions instead of easy answers. We have no interest in orthodoxy. We want our audiences to leave feeling nourished, connected and understood. We want a conversation with them that is reciprocal. We are a place for joining in, with welcome and warmth at its heart.
Our Mission:
We will take care of our community, our island and each other. We will tell stories that matter. Art can change the world. We will make and support art of all kinds by artists of all kinds, for people of all kinds. We will behave honourably, with openness and respect and encourage others to do the same. We will be a resource for artists, helping them in any way we can and always treating them fairly. We will prioritise making and supporting art. We will care for and nurture our audiences. We will take our responsibility to be financially and environmentally sustainable seriously. We will evolve and flourish. We will stay curious. We will take risks.
Artistic Policy:
Of our place but for the world. An eye to the future with a foot in the past. Surprising. Unexpected. Stealthily meaningful. Committed, enduring, sustainable. The overlooked. The cast aside. The forgotten. Enticing. Inviting. Filled with delight. Moments of grace and inspiration. Unashamed and unrelenting. Made with love.
