The programme includes live music and performance programme at the Stables and Old Brewery. regular classes and workshops in visual art, craft and applied arts. exhibitions featuring local and visiting artists. artist residencies connecting heritage, craft and contemporary practice. specialist residential schools and university study groups at the Old Brewery. the Cromarty Crime and Thrillers Weekend.
