Classes and workshops will include regular sessions in a range of art-forms in An Lanntair and community venues throughout Lewis and Harris, and support for existing groups.

Full Circle will support some of the most deprived and fragile island communities to access free high quality creative arts services.

It will improve opportunities for children, families and carers to share and enjoy creative experiences together through a range of art-forms, strengthening relationships, emotional and social development and intergenerational communications.
