Inverness Old Town Art is a bold new initiative, supported by the Scottish Arts Council to make art and artists central to the emerging new identity of the Old Town area of the Highland Capital.

Inverness Old Town is the traditional city centre, bordering on the River Ness and comprising some of the oldest streets of the Highland Capital. The arrival of ‘out of town’ retail parks and the Eastgate Mall saw the Old Town district fall into decline until, following the granting of City status to Inverness, funding was secured for a bold package of environmental improvements under the direction of the Inverness City Partnership (ICP) and its partnership officer Marie Mackintosh.
