Helmsdale Heritage And Arts Society

About

Timespan is a museum and cultural institution located in Helmsdale. We adopt a holistic approach, using arts, heritage, digital technologies, education, wellbeing, and community building as a catalyst for political, social, cultural, environmental and communal change. Our initiatives are rooted in our local context and resonate globally, addressing urgent contemporary issues from an intersectional perspective. We actively engage with our local and global communities to effect meaningful dialogue and transformation. In a region marked by historical injustices, defined as rural and remote, and affected by a lack of cultural services, Timespan serves as a vital cultural hub, engaging over 20,000 people annually and reaching an online audience of 110,000 across various platforms.
