Bonhoga Gallery

Opened in April 1994 Bonhoga Gallery shows a programme of local, national and international art and craft exhibitions. It was one of the key early projects in the work of the Shetland Arts Trust and important in that it centred arts policy out with Lerwick. Situated on the west side of Shetland, Weisdale Mill was once part of the estate of Flemington known today as Kergord. Bonhoga means ‘my spiritual home’ and we hope this has become a home for the arts in Shetland. Seven shows are held each year in the Upper Gallery featuring a varied programme of local, national and international art and craft. Also changing ten times annually are the shows in the Lower Gallery, a dedicated space for take away art and craft as well as an exhibition space for both Shetland and the UK’s leading craftmakers. A changing programme of short films is also shown in the gallery stairwell. An education and outreach programme accompanies most shows. Cafe and Shop.
