Skye Bridge Studios 123
ABOUT
Founded in 2021, Skye Bridge Studios 123 is an arts and learning charity located in the Scottish Highlands’ village of Kyle of Lochalsh, at the gateway to the Isle of Skye.
We are a small team dedicated to sharing the transformative power of the performing arts. Utilising three spacious rooms in a converted school-house, one of which is an excellent, fully-equipped studio, we hold theatre, music and film events, arrange arts-related exhibitions and workshops and deliver educational and informal learning programmes for our community.
We seek to extoll the life-affirming value of the arts, and the performing arts in particular, and to identify and include younger people beyond age 16 – the next generation of adults emerging in this community – to give them, and everyone else who comes to us, the chance to expand their view and understanding of the world, and themselves, and to thrive as a result.
We work with others on this journey to greater social impact. These are some of the key partners who help us to deliver our charitable solutions and impactful outcomes:
- Eilean Ban Trust
- Friends of Highland Music
- Highland Council
- Highland Touring Network
- Kyle of Lochalsh Community Trust
- National Trust for Scotland
- Plockton Music School
- Portree High School
- Skye and Lochalsh Council for Voluntary Organisations
- Skye and Lochalsh Orchestra
- The Lochalsh Collaboration
- Women’s Aid
Conducting this work, with the particular assistance of further donations, will help us to take our community closer to celebrating its heritage, promoting its artistic talent, delighting in its cultural esprit de corps and acting as a beacon to others.
This is the future we cherish.
