Shetland Arts Development Agency manages Bonhoga, The Garrison Theatre & Mareel.

We also develop and promote a year round programme of film, music, theatre, literature, visual arts, & dance events.

Our vision is for a creative, connected Shetland that values art and culture and the transformative impact it can have on everyone’s life; a Shetland that nurtures and celebrates its own creative talents and is open to all cultures and lifestyles; a Shetland where no one feels isolated and where culture is core to ensuring the economic and social wellbeing of all its residents.

Supported by Creative Scotland and core funded by the Shetland Charitable Trust.

Shetland Arts is a registered charity (SCO37082). Registered office: Mareel, Lerwick, ZE1 0WQ

Screenplay 2018 was an amazing success, from the range of guests to the diversity of films, it truly had something for everyone. Over eleven hundred young people from Shetland took part in education screenings and workshops. I especially enjoyed seeing the Shetland Arts staff team being a little starstruck when Wallace and Gromit arrived at a Q&A. August also saw Shetland Arts hold its AGM and I am really happy to report that we have made another small financial surplus. We hosted over four and a half thousand events and exhibition days between April 2017 and March 2018, everything from circus to contemporary dance, from theatre and literature to music and film. Over eighty four thousand people watched live streams or online video content that we made available during the year. Our Annual Summary provides a top level look at what we have done, and more detail is contained in our financial statement which is available on our website. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Shetland Arts staff team and volunteers for the dedication and enthusiasm that they bring to all that we do.

WordPlay 2018 (8 - 11 November) is now on sale and has a wonderful range of highly talented authors. Some who live locally and have Shetland connections like John Goodlad and Malachy Tallach and some who will be visiting us like Amy Liptrot and A. C. Grayling. Through the Wordcard you can enjoy every event for only £11 a day.

I hope you are enjoying the final throes of summer and looking forward to an autumn of fun, culture and inspiration.

Northbound | Nordgående  Northbound | Nordgående is an exhibition of contemporary ceramics, drawing and performance with a focus on process and place, and is the work of a group of six artists from Scotland and Norway.

Together, their work celebrates the diversity and vibrancy of contemporary ceramicists. The exhibition also looks to highlight the influence of place on the artists’ work, exploring in particular the cross-border, cultural connections across northern Europe and the region’s ancient and traditional maritime routes. The work is travelling North, completing its voyage at Fjell Festning Museum near Bergen in early 2019. In each new venue, the exhibition will be reconfigured by different curators, creating four versions of its own narrative.

The World is a Wedding, the Presentation of Unst in Everyday Life In 1948, Canadian sociologist Erving Goffman came to Unst, told everyone he was there to study the economy but, instead, studied everyone there. His research ended up in his massive bestseller The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, changing the game for sociology. Seventy years later, a cast of Shetland youth have teamed up with performance company Mammalian Diving Reflex to apply Goffman’s insights to Unstfest, UK’s most northerly festival. The Presentation of Unst in Everyday Life presents their findings. Let us present a study of you to you, hopefully with a song or two.

Bonhoga Gallery is situated in Weisdale Mill, on land cleared for large-scale sheep farming in the 19th Century. It was a meal and barley mill from 1855 until the early 1900’s, then used as a butchery and tannery before falling into dereliction in the middle of the 20th Century. The building was renovated and opened as Bonhoga Gallery in 1994, and since then has been welcoming large numbers of both Shetland residents and visitors to the isles.

Bonhoga means ‘my spiritual home’ in Shetland dialect. In the south-facing conservatory overlooking the Weisdale burn, the Mill café is a popular spot all year round. The menu features locally sourced produce and all food is prepared daily on the premises. As well as options for children, the cafe caters for those with special dietary requirements.

This new presentation traces Doug’s personal journey as he discusses how he’s seen pollution and climate change affect the natural world.

Sunday 4 November, 7.30pm  Mareel  £18 / £16

Bonhoga promotes the best of Shetland, national and international applied art and craft through a programme of curated retail, exhibition and showcase opportunities, delivered from the main gallery space and supplementary retail areas. Supporting over 70 established and emerging artists, designers and makers, Bonhoga offers a unique opportunity to view and purchase a wide range of contemporary applied art, craft and print.

CASE STUDY

A fabulous 12 years… looking forward to SCREEN 2019!

Screenplay is over for another year, as ever showcasing films from Shetland and across the world with some amazing special guests including Timothy Spall, Nick Park of Wallace and Gromit fame, Alice Lowe and Steve Oram. The programme also included premieres and preview screenings of films not yet available in UK cinemas and a rare opportunity to see the Rosie Gibson’s 1980s Shetland drama documentary The Work They Say Is Mine. During the festival over 4000 people attended more than 40 films and 10 special events and workshops, with over 1100 pupils from 12 schools attending 14 education film screenings.

This year is marking the end of an era in Screenplay’s history with the retirement of Director Kathy Hubbard.

“It has been a fabulous 12 years of Screenplay. We have had some marvellous times with some very special people and some truly great films. I want to thank everyone for their support over the years – it is the audience that makes Screenplay what it is, and I’m looking forward to enjoying Screenplay 2019 as a member of the film-viewing public!”

Kathy Hubbard

“Screenplay has always been a wonderful celebration of local, Scottish and International film... This is no small part due to Kathy’s enthusiasm and on behalf of Shetland Arts I would very much like to thank Kathy for her dedication to the organisation and to film-making across the Isles“.

Graeme Howell, Chief Executive

Next year’s Screenplay will run from Friday 30 August – Sunday 8 September 2019.
