Perthshire Open Studios features many of the area’s artists and makers who open their doors annually to invite visitors into see their work spaces to browse their work: this year sees the return of the Studios’Summer Show, which had its debut last year.

Over 70 members of Perthshire’s largest artist organisation are expected to exhibit and sell their work in this showcase exhibition, which acts as a precursor to the Festival Showcase (at the Barn Gallery, Blackruthven 24th Aug – 8th Sept) and the Open Studios Festival (multiple locations, 31st Aug – 8th Sept).

The Summer Show is helping to make Perthshire a year-round arts destination, alongside its Creative Trail, and Open Studios Festival. The all-year Creative Trail features 15 galleries and 32 artists’ studios (including 17 in the Perth Creative Exchange) allowing visitors and locals to meet artists, visit galleries, discover walks and distilleries throughout the year.
