Highland Arts have been asked by the University of the Highlands and Islands to curate two exhibitions for their new executive headquarters in Inverness. The old Northern Infirmary. We have already hung one show there, which has been a great success with the University. We are now looking to select work for the next exhibition. Hopefully this will become an ongoing event.
This is a great opportunity for the Highlands and Island artists to get their work seen by some of the more influential people in the area as well as the opportunity to show large and challenging artwork. There will be an exhibiting fee for the artists selected.

We will hang each area with a single artist’s work so do think about where your work might hang to its best advantage. The walls are coloured so please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions 01854 612460, flick@rhueart.co.uk I would prefer work in a digital format but, again do call me if this is not possible. Please make sure the images are labelled CLEARLY WITH DIMENSIONS AND TITLES.
If you want slides or images returned please include a SAE otherwise I will be delighted to have the images for future reference.
Please do pass this information on to any other artist you know who maybe interested
