Island Games - 2024-2025

Orkney Islands Council are seeking a local Scrivener/Story Gatherer and a Sound Artist to deliver two exciting projects celebrating Orkney against the backdrop of the 2025 International Island Games.

Between them, the two roles will deliver a piece of sound art to feature in St Magnus Cathedral, and a short story booklet.

The project is being managed by Orkney Islands Council’s Arts Development service.

Gwenda Shearer is Chair of the Council’s Education, Leisure and Housing committee:

“This is about celebrating the wider culture of Orkney and spotlighting our incredible artists, writers, craftspeople and performing artists – with reference to our history, landscape, and creative future as we welcome the world to the International Island Games in 2025.”
