IOTA in collaboration with Aberdeen University would like to invite you to an informal evening at the Lighthouse Field Station in Cromarty. As newly arrived artists Stephen Hurrel and Mark Lyken embark on their Sublime residencies at the field station working along side marine biologists, this discussion event will show some of their past works and hopes to explore local connections for the new commissions. After work drinks and fabulous pizza from Sutor Creek served. Sublime is a series of events and commissions for Inverness' Old Town Rose Street car park funded by Creative Scotland. Click here for more information and directions.

The powerful location of Culloden Battlefield, stunning performances and interview portraits shot earlier in the day by Roger & Reid made it a night to remember.
