SUPPORTING PERTHSHIRE CREATIVES
Perthshire Open Studios (POS) has been running for over 13 years. Entirely volunteer run, the open studios festival event across Perthshire attracted visitors and residents, supporting economic and cultural growth as well as cultural benefits.
In 2021, 143 venues and 198 solo artists participated in POS. Previous research shows that for every pound spent on organizing the festival each year, £15 is spent in Perthshire.
POS is now focusing on three events a year - an all-year-round creative trail, a September open studio festival and a summer exhibition. In addition to developing training events for artist looking to spread the word about their art. It was also agreed that it was important to work with other artist organisations in Perthshire.
On the Creative Trail you will find 15 galleries and 32 artist studios, 17 of which are in the Perth Creative Exchange. It does not matter what time of year it is – you can meet artists, visit galleries, and find walks, distilleries, and even coffee and cake!
Perthshire is special: of course, there are the big trees and big views that it is famous for, but we also have a large creative and vibrant community. Wherever you choose to go, you can meet the makers and see the inspiration.
The Trail is made possible with the support of Perth and Kinross Council, UNESCO City of Craft (Perth), VisitScotland, Perth Creative Exchange, Growbiz, Perthshire Artisans, and the team at The Quair and is organised by Perthshire Open Studios.
