One of the most frequent concerns we hear from our customers is that our current website is difficult to navigate, so we are seeking to develop a new website that enhances user experience, improves accessibility, and is more transaction/task focused. Additionally, as Shetland Arts hasn’t rebranded since 2006, we are taking this opportunity to update our brand to reflect better who we are as an organisation today.

Shetland Arts is dedicated to enriching Shetland's cultural landscape by educating, promoting, and supporting the arts through venues such as Mareel, The Garrison Theatre, and Bonhoga Gallery. We offer a diverse year-round program across music, craft, theatre, literature, visual arts, dance, and film, aiming to empower our community to achieve their creative potential. Committed to fair work principles, we strive to provide a workplace that enhances success, wellbeing, and prosperity, embodying the belief that art's transformative power contributes significantly to personal and community development.

Below, you will find details on each project, including how to submit your tender proposal.
