main page
| An Tobar is Mull’s
Arts Centre in the refurbished Victorian primary school
overlooking Tobermory bay. Opened in 1997 An Tobar is a focus for
arts activities on the island. A dedicated gallery (the only one
in Argyll), a 50 seater performance space, cafe, shop and workshop
area are all facilities of An Tobar. The Gallery hosts a different
exhibition every month, featuring both local artists and touring
shows. Open for much of the year An Tobar is a visitor centre that
charges no entrance fee. The events feature a broad range of
music, focusing on the very best of Scottish artists. |
 |
| An Tobar also organises tuition in
traditional instruments including pipes, fiddles, and accordion,
and is involved in work with young people in the area, staging
musicals, rehearsing and performing rock bands, and recording
their music. Throughout the winter music and art classes are run. |
| With a
terrace overlooking the splendour of Tobermory bay in Summer, and
a roaring real fire in Winter months, An Tobar cafe is always
worth a visit. They serve a
selection of teas and coffees, alongside the best of traditional local
baking. During the summer season, they also serve light lunches
including soup and sandwiches. You are also free to browse in the shop
and gallery. |
 |
| An Tobar normally
has an 'artist in residence' doing art workshops with
children. In 2003 Tessa
Dunlop was the artist creating exciting art classes for
children over her summer in Tobermory, alongside
working in her studio which was open to the public. |
