AS PART of the Year of Young People, An Lanntair in Stornoway has received funding from EventScotland, part of VisitScotland, to hand over the venue to young people to deliver their own arts festival called Las!/Ignite!
The Las!/Ignite! festival takes place over a week during October. It promises to be an innovative event to celebrate and promote the creative talent of young people from the Outer Hebrides, leading to tangible outcomes for their careers and enterprise.
Young people will programme An Lanntair’s auditorium with gigs, films, theatre and cabaret events. They will curate exhibitions for the main gallery, bar and mezzanine exhibition spaces, and will be responsible for marketing, design and stewarding.
