We are proud to announce that a record number of artists and makers have joined our group for the 2026 season and we now number 68, confirming our status as one of the premier public facing art collectives on the west coast of Scotland.

So far, we have the following dates in the diary for you to enjoy exhibitions of the inspiring work of our creatives, in many genres, across the Cowal peninsula.

All exhibitions are ‘free to enter’ and a warm welcome will await you if you are able to visit us. We will post further details here of each event as we progress through the year. Hans.
