Open Studios Preview Exhibition at Brodick Hall, Friday 10th – Monday 13th July 2026
Following the success of previous preview exhibitions, we will once again be staging a ‘Taster’ in advance of the Open Studios weekend itself! This will again be in the fabulous Brodick Village Hall. The exhibition will feature a single piece from most of the artists participating in the weekend and give visitors a feel for the wide range and high quality of the work created by the artist and maker community here in Arran.
