Highlands & Islands training events now open for booking!
Over the past year the Scottish Artists' Union piloted a series of training workshops from Stromness to Ullapool and they were so successful that we've managed to secure a Highlands & Islands Learning Organiser post and more courses from Scottish Union Learning. The first of this year's FREE courses are now available to book on our website, please get in touch via learning@artistsunion.scot if you need any further details or support to participate in these events.

The School of Unlearning in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, during February/March 2020, will examine aspects of contemporary work to critique notions of professionalism and work-based learning.
