What’s The Island Collection?
The Island’ Collection’s vision is to establish the Island as a significant cultural environment and destination, for all those who live here, and for those who visit.

We will do this by working in an inclusive way to strengthen and underpin the often fragile organisations vital to our arts, culture and heritage.

We will provide an expert, strategic voice that represents the Island’s arts, culture and heritage organisations and articulates their collective value.

We will work with others to enhance and make more inclusive the Island’s cultural environment.
