COMPETENCE 1.1 There are no legal, financial, equalities or other constraints to the recommendations being implemented. Provision exists within the Development Department Arts Revenue Budget. SUMMARY 2.1 An Lanntair Arts Centre (An Lanntair) is a nationally acclaimed and internationally renowned cultural hub. Comhairle support enables An Lanntair to deliver a year round programme of high quality visual art exhibitions, performing arts events, cinema screenings and educational activities which provide significant economic and social benefits for the Outer Hebrides. 2.2 Creative Scotland has acknowledged An Lanntair’s achievements and status by awarding the organisation £1,210,000 in three year Regular Funding for the period to 2018-2021. This releases an average of £403,333 per annum, with no increase on their 3 year Regular Funding Award for the period 2015/18. The bidding process for three year Regular Funding by organisations throughout Scotland was extremely competitive. A target figure of £69, 350 per annum in partnership funding from the Comhairle was an important factor in the leverage of this significant sum from Creative Scotland. 2.3 An Lanntair Ltd. and its trading subsidiary An Lanntair Trading currently employs 49 individuals across the organisation from programmers and curators to hospitality and catering staff.

  • Street Level Open 2019 13Th
    STREET LEVEL OPEN 2019 13TH SEPTEMBER 2019 - 24TH NOVEMBER 2019 ‘…there is no such thing as a singular photography at all, only discontinuous, myriad photographies…’ - Geoffrey Batchen The Street Level Open comes into existence once again to mark the organisation’s 30th Year of championing photography. Featuring the work of over 60 artists the exhibition’s aim is clear - to create a lively exhibition embracing the range of formats and methods of photographic image-making currently being practiced here. Be it post-photography or proto-analogue we are interested in work that embodies the essence of photography as well as that which sits at its verge. Photography as gesture, as evidence, as archive, as a window into another places or a reflection of your inner self, photography is in and around us… This is the 8th edition of the Street Level Open and the works on show were selected from open submission. Featuring work by Sofie Adelsparre, Victor Albrow, Stephanie Black-Daniels, Alex Boyd, Kenny Brown, Craig Buchan, Indre Hilara Bylaite, James Cadden, Peter Iain Campbell, Sean Patrick Campbell, Eoin Carey, James Carney, Simona Ciocarlan, Saskia Coulson, Gemma Dagger, Lorenzo Dalberto, Keith Lloyd Davenport, Teresa Dickson, Ezra Evans, Laura Feliu Lloberas, Dave Ferrie, Ross Finnie, Adam Geary, Joseph Glover, Paul Gorman, Jo Grant, Alex Hetherington, Jenny Hood, Keith Ingham, Ira Alexandra Iosub, Helen Jones, Morwenna Kearsley, Robert H King, Marysia Lachowicz, Julie Laing, Philip J Lavery, Izzy Leach, Lesley Logue, Tricia Malley, Martyna Maz, David McDairmid, Gordon MacIntyre McDonald, Frank McElhinney, Roddy McKenzie, Iain McLean, Aga Paulina Mlynczak, Hilary Mooney, Simon Murphy, Emma Newcombe, Ruby O’Neill, Mark Osborne, John Perivolaris, Aileen Peter, James Pfaff, Carmel Pia, Natalia Poniatowska, Daniele Sambo, Kathryn Scott, Dan Shay, Matt Sillars, Michael Stewart, Colin Tennant, Michael Thomson, Karen Vaughan, Paul Walton, Matthew Wiseman, Paul Wotton, Sandy Wotton & Heather Yates.

  • Hyperborea: Lands of the North
    Hyperborea: Lands of the North Dark Mountains | Silent Islands: Alex Boyd, Faces of the North: Ragnar Axelsson After: Chris Friel Taking its name from the mythical location found ‘beyond the North Wind’, this exhibition brings together three acclaimed photographers from Iceland, Scotland and England. The 18th century philosopher John Toland identified ‘Hyperborea’ as the Isle of Lewis, making it a fitting location to share a series of works which explore the remote geographical regions of Northern Europe, such as Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands and the Outer Hebrides. The stark black and white work of Ragnar Axelsson, better known as RAX, have been the subject of landmark photographic books such as Last Days of the Arctic. His insightful and unsentimental images reveal vast landscapes, remote communities, and people making a living in the harshest of environments. Over three decades he has established himself as one of the world’s leading documentary photographers with work published in the New York Times, National Geographic and Time. The photographer Alex Boyd is best known for his brooding landscapes which utilise antique processes to depict the mountainous terrain of his native Scotland, with images made using silver, cyanide and glass. This exhibition contains new work made in the Hebrides, with Japanese-inspired landscape work made in challenging conditions on the peaks of the Cuillin Ridge of Skye, as well as in the Outer Hebrides. It will also feature new documentary work from the series ‘The Land of Maybe’ made over several years and journeys to The Faroe Islands. Concentrating on portraits of the people and landscapes of the archipelago, this ambitious project will be published as a book in late 2017.
