Come Ye Hither is not just about showing new artwork, it is about bringing artists who are new to the island together with those already in the community. It provides residents of the Hebrides and visitors alike a chance to walk onto the pier and to experience the Crofters Store in a new and illuminating light; and, hopefully later… to return."

For one week in July 2010 the old Crofters Store in Loch Eport, North Uist was transformed into an exhibition and performance space by the artists collective Low Pressure. The exhibition Come Ye Hither brought together mainland and island based artists and musicians in a inspirational setting to showcase new and existing work and share a unique experience.
The exhibition kicked of with an opening event on the 24th of July with an acoustic performance by local musician Matt MacDonald, followed by Glasgow bands Adopted As Holograph and Hussey And The Wolf and Leith-based vocalist Wounded Knee. The fantastic music complimented the spectacular array of artwork on display, including sculpture, digital
media, drawing, print and site specific work.
Originally designed as a spinning mill and later functioning as an agricultural supply store, the Crofters Store and its purpose has changed over the years. Set against a rural island landscape Come Ye Hither explored the enduring pull artists feel for unconventional and spectacular settings. It is hoped that is only the beginning of a new creative life for the Store which has been bought by a group of local artists with a view to refurbishing the building.
