Uist and Barra
Art on the Map Trail

June – July – August 2022: open studios, arts businesses and other events

The Artists

The artists are a mixture of professional and amateur, full time and part time. This year there are 31 participants. Geographically, there are participants in Berneray, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra

Venues range from dedicated studios to more domestic spaces, from galleries to village halls. Visitors use our artists’ profiles to identify interesting artists and use the interactive Google map in each profile to find their location.  A leaflet giving an overview of the trail is also available locally and can be downloaded here

Artists are availble for interview and can be contacted directly. The Uist Arts Association can also assist. We’ve also identified previous interviews with some of the participants
