Our Vision
Vision
We’re of our place and for our community. We aspire to be an island voice in a national and international conversation.
Our heritage is ancient and our future unwritten.
We are a beacon, shining light out into the world and guiding the way back to Mull.
We create and support art that is brave, complex, generous and full of heart, born of difficult questions instead of easy answers. We have no interest in orthodoxy.
We want our audiences to leave feeling nourished, connected and understood. We want a conversation with them that is reciprocal.
We are a place for joining in, with welcome and warmth at its heart.
