Arran Art Gallery was established by resident artist Nick Giles in 2005 with the aim to promote the island’s artists to visiting tourists from the British mainland and to all those people all over the world that have an affinity with the beautiful Isle of Arran.  The gallery has built up a large client base throughout the UK and beyond as a result of the island's thriving tourist industry and the proximity of Prestwick airport.

The gallery holds the largest stock of original art to be found on the island and one of the largest in Scotland.  In addition to local artists, the gallery exhibits many of Scotland's established contemporary artists.   At present approximately 80+ Scottish artists are represented in the gallery and also on the website.  Quality ceramics, sculptures, photography, jewellery and glasswork complement the gallery; and there is a wide range of limited edition prints that can be posted directly to any destination worldwide.  The gallery also exhibits artwork for sale in a select number of venues around the island.
