The beauty of Arran inspires artists from all sectors whether it be visual, music or drama orientated. Many people come to the island and feel their creativity growing!
We have lots of creative events on, and usually there are live music and drama events on too! Check out some of the live performances on here: What's On
When on Arran have a good look for local artisan products and displays.
At Southbank Studio, David and Ruth have built a reputation for high quality woodwork. They have been making and selling their work here at the beautiful Southend of the island for the last 10 years. We welcome visitors to come and see us to browse, chat about our work and perhaps to purchase a unique item.

My paintings are based on Scottish landscapes and the feelings they evoke. For me flowing rhythmic lines and beautiful shapes make up landscapes.
My style is fairly abstracted, each mark, shape and curve is carefully considered. I think my work was originally influenced by cubism but I now have a very distinctive style of my own.
My paintings have an almost hypnotic effect while I'm painting. Hours pass very easily in 'Edith', my shepherd's hut studio, which has a jaw dropping view over Brodick Bay.
I show my work at Art galleries around the west coast of Scotland, at various island exhibitions, at my guesthouse The Glenartney and online at my website. I have completed many commissions from all over the UK (examples of these can bee seen on my website)
My limited edition Giclee prints are born and bred on Arran - the fine art printer lives and works here too. I also have placemats, coasters and cards of my work.
