The weekend’ event started with guests being treated to special musical guest, local DJ Meggidh Fraser, who played funky beats in the former school building’s assembly hall.
During the weekend, visitors were able to support the local creative community by shopping at more than 30 stalls where artisans offered unique, hand-crafted goods and artworks to suit all tastes.
The range of goods included crafted jewellery, textiles, ceramics, paintings and prints.
The Inverness Creative Academy building was previously the site of Inverness Royal Academy until 1980 before the institution moved to Culduthel Road.
The building underwent a £6 million refurbishment over four years before officially reopening as a creative hub in 2020 to meet the demand for arts facilities in the Highlands. .
It is operated by Wasps (Workshop and Artists Studio Provision Scotland), the UK’s largest provider of artist studios.
