The Visual Arts & Wellbeing Residency is a partnership between IOTA, (Inverness Old Town Art), The Highland Council and Nairn Town & County Hospital and Primary Care Centre (part of NHS Highland) and is funded by the Highland Arts Partnership through Creative Scotland’s Rural Innovation Fund (RIF). The RIF aims to support innovative, cross-agency working in rural areas; this project is part of a wider series of new arts commissions that relate to different aspects of Highland life and culture.
