Creative Scotland has opened registrations for this year’s Buain Gaelic Arts Gathering, taking place at Talla Chille Mhoire/Kilmuir Community Hall, Skye. The event brings together Gaelic arts practitioners from across the screen, literature, visual arts and music sectors for talks, networking and connection — with Gaelic as the primary language throughout, and a warm welcome for speakers of all levels.
Responding to feedback from previous years, the event has expanded to one and a half days:
Wednesday: 14:00–18:00
Thursday: 11:00–17:00, followed by an evening meal and ceilidh
The full programme will be announced soon.
Bursaries: 15 bursaries of up to £350 are available to support travel, accommodation and caring costs. Applicants must hold a Gaelic fluency level of B1 or above. The closing date for bursary applications is Tuesday 4th August. Apply here.
Travel: A 16-seater minibus will run from Portree for the duration of the event; indicate interest via the registration form.
Access: The venue is wheelchair accessible, including the anteroom and two bathrooms. A breakout space is available via three steps down from the main hall.
