Description
Orkney Arts Residency is located at Linkshouse, a large, detached property which is located in the rural parish of Birsay, on the Northwest coast of Mainland Orkney. Managed by the Pier Arts Centre, Linkshouse has recently been refurbished to a high standard.
The Pier Arts Centre in Stromness, Orkney was established in 1979 to provide a home for an important collection of British fine art donated by the author, peace activist and philanthropist Margaret Gardiner (1904 – 2005).
The Centre also curates a year-round programme of changing exhibitions and events for the education and enjoyment of the general public.
The Pier Arts Centre acts as a focal point for the local artistic community. It has a valuable library and archive which is accessible to the public and runs a programme of education and outreach activities for groups of all ages.
