Produced by Vivid Roots Collective and in partnership with Eden Court Theatre, Lyth Arts Centre, and Macphail Centre.
For the first time, Vivid Roots Collective are delivering residency projects across the Highlands in 2026. The project will support an artist in each of our partner venue’s localities to develop their practice or a creative idea, and share this with their audiences.They will also be supported to deliver a sharing of their practice or idea at one of the Vivid Roots Collective’s scratch nights.
Each residency will be for 5 days in one of our partner venues, and will be supported by an industry mentor, who will be selected based on the nature of the resident artist’s practice.
