The Highland Festival (HF) sees Highland 2007 (H2007) as a unique opportunity to break through the glass ceiling over the coming years. The raised profile the Highlands is set to enjoy in the lead up to, during and after H 2007 can only be of benefit to the HF, making for a stronger event with the potential to become one of the important legacies of the year.

The injection of additional funding into the cultural sector in all its wonderful diversity will have a positive impact. By adding value to the existing cultural community, H2007 will help feed the art which is the lifeblood of our organisation. The healthier the cultural scene, the more dynamic the HF will become.

It’s too early to talk about specific projects but HF has been developing some ambitious ideas which celebrate our vibrant culture and the role the Highland Diaspora has played in keeping it alive throughout the world.

With the confident and expanding city of Inverness as its base, the HF’s ambitions of attracting new audiences from home and abroad, experiencing new commissioned art from the Highlands fits the remit set for H2007 – and if the glove fits, why not wear it?!
