Welcome to Arran Open Studios
Thank you to all our visitors, our artists/makers and our supporters who made this year’s Open Studios such a success! We are already looking forward to next year and dates are now set for two key events:
Preview Exhibition, Brodick Hall, Friday 10th – Monday 13th July 2026
The Arran Open Studios Weekend, Friday 14th – Monday 17th August 2026
More details will begin to appear here in the spring and in the meantime 2025’s materials will be available here as a taster.
If you can’t wait until next summer for more Arran art you might like to know that some of the studios are also open at other times throughout the year. These studios are marked with a wee calendar icon, 
on the Artists Page. Please do make sure to check with each artist before visiting as hours and dates may well vary by season.
If you are an artist or maker on the island who has not taken part this time and would like to discuss taking part in the Open Studios next year, please do get in touch. We would love to hear from you!

Great to be part of Arran Arts Day today.
Lots of Arts groups on the island to find out about, home baking, tea/coffee and live music.
If you missed it there’s always next year. #arrantheartsisland
Always a lovely community event. Live music this year will be between 1 and 2pm. Come along and have a cuppa, eat some home baking and find out what’s going on in the arts on Arran. You might find there’s something you’d like to get involved with.
We’ll be there! 🎭🎨🖌️🖼️🎵

Arran Open Studios committee met yesterday to start planning our 2026 event. Many of you will know that Jan McGreggor, front left, is leaving the island tomorrow for her new life near her family in Dundee. She popped in to join us one final time. We have all enjoyed working with her, will miss her and wish her a happy life ahead.
Date for your diaries- Arran Open Studios 26- Friday 14th -Monday 17th August.
