We own and run Mareel, a multi arts venue & cinema and Bonhoga Gallery and cafe. We own The Booth which is managed by WASPS and provides space and accommodation for artist residencies. We run the Garrison theatre, owned by the Shetland Charitable Trust, which hosts professional and community drama performances.
