We are CiRCUS, an artists collective based in Inverness, Scottish Highlands and we want to establish a new artist-run gallery called CiRCUS ARTSPACE.

Help us to build a supportive community for contemporary visual artist as well as provide access to new work in the city. With increasing numbers of recent art graduates from the University of the Highlands & Islands living in Inverness - it needs a place for them to get involved, contribute enthusiastically and most importantly stick around!

We are fundraising to help support our artistic programme, all donation will go towards paying artists and creating new work. Read more about our current projects here: www.circus.scot
