Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum and Art Gallery

Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre is the arts and heritage centre for the Uists. Throughout the year they have visual art exhibitions, poetry and literary events, traditional music events and small festivals. They host world class contemporary art exhibitions, they have an award winning museum, they work with local and international artists, academics and writers. We also have a strong and growing specialism in film.

They partner with both the University of the Highlands and Islands (hosting fine art courses to degree level) and with Sabhal Mor Ostaig offering a number of courses including Gaelic. They are a unique organisation in an incredible location. They provide a hub for the arts, heritage and economic development of North Uist, and the Centre’s work reflects the Gaelic community, language and culture that makes the ‘place’.

Taigh Chearsabhagh sits on the solid rock overlooking the tidal bay that is Lochmaddy (Loch nam Madadh – the Loch of the Dogs). There organisation is community focused, offering a stimulating and dynamic cultural programme of activities all year round for the people of Uist and visitors.

Lochmaddy is the main port of entry to North Uist, and the Centre is situated on the shoreline of a marine Special Area of Conservation. The sea and sky dominate our environment and directly influence the artistic and cultural life here. Inspired by the island location there is a vibrant and stimulating exhibition and events programme throughout the year.
