Shetland Arts Trust

Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia

This is the 'new' logo for Shetland Arts Trust, designed by Fiona Mitchell (at that time a nurse at Lerwick's Montfield Hospital). The five Celtic serpent's heads represent the five main artistic disciplines - literature, drama, dance, music and the visual arts.

The Shetland Arts Trust was established in 1986, with the aim of encouraging the arts in Shetland, by means of designating to that purpose some portion of the oil revenues accumulating to the Shetland Charitable Trust. Under the direction of Arthur Watt and Kathy Hubbard the Shetland Arts Trust put many new initiatives in place, and enabled many individual artists to progress their work.

The Shetland Arts Trust was replaced by the Shetland Arts Development Agency, otherwise Shetland Arts, in 2006.
