02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
An Tobar and Mull Theatre is a multidisciplinary arts charity established to advance education and public participation in the arts, and to contribute to the cultural, social and economic wellbeing of the communities we serve. We do this by producing and presenting a year-round programme of theatre, music, visual arts, film, literature and creative learning, alongside the creation and touring of new work. We provide opportunities for people of all ages to access, experience and participate in culture, with a particular commitment to rural and island communities where access can be limited. Our work includes artist development, community engagement, education programmes, heritage and Gaelic cultural activity, and partnerships at local, national and international levels. We deliver this through our arts venues, touring activity, outreach programmes, collaborations and charitable fundraising.
