Uist and Barra Artists Studio Trail, and Exhibitions 2022

FINAL Deadline: Friday 1st April 2022 for inclusion in printed brochure.

 

Events can continue to be added to the online information on the website, but they will not be in the printed brochure.

This year we are offering a simplified Art on the Map

A simplified flyer that identifies artists and studios open with two categories:

    1. Venues with standard opening hours all summer
    2. Venues that are open by appointment, and where specific opening hrs can be updated to the website nearer the time.

We are aiming to have the brochures printed and ready for distribution by the end of May Bank  holiday, along with some other trail maps being prepared by Taigh Chearsabhagh for some of their activities.

Our Open Summer exhibition will be held in Taigh Chearsabhagh from 2nd July – 6th August and as last year we have agreed with TC to have a paid gallery assistant who will also act as a point of contact for visitors to signpost and help encourage studio visits, and generally be on hand to provide information about our members and their work.

The information in your form will also be used to set up a basic Art on the Map website profile for you and/or your event. You will be sent login details to edit the information directly.
