About Us
“Affordable & Accessible Art in a stunning location”
We would love to welcome you to our lovely Art & Craft Gallery, located a few short miles from Dunoon along the scenic coastal road around the Holy Loch. Our location is stunning; at the head of the pier in Blairmore Village, on the shore of Loch Long, with views to the Arrochar Alps, the Loch, and the River Clyde beyond.
Our Gallery is surrounded by many talented artists and crafts people, such as Ronnie Ford, David Morrison, Raymond Murray and Pam Glennie, who work with us to keep displays fresh and appealing. We have a great relationship with the Gallery Artists… they have become our friends, and this enables us to share with you what drives and inspires them. Many pop in regularly for coffee and a chat, and to talk art. Some tutor classes that we arrange, hence our ‘Arts Venue’ 3 Star Status.
As the largest gallery in Cowal, we display the work of many Argyll artists, whilst inviting well known artists such as Davy Brown from further afield to display in joint or solo exhibitions which change every 4 or 5 weeks. Established over 10 years, but always with its finger on the pulse, the gallery always has something new to see; art, prints, jewellery, ceramics, books, cards, scarves, bags and other decorative items… we have the most extensive range of art & crafts in one place in the whole of Cowal, so we are the place to come to see the best that there is on offer in the local area.
But there is no obligation to buy. It is important to us that every one feels comfortable coming to the Gallery, hence we joined the Visit Scotland Quality Assurance scheme to demonstrate that we have consistently high standards, and that by meeting the award criteria we have a good quality venue, with friendly service, and a range of arts and crafts that give great choice to the visitor, and locals alike.
We would love you to visit us and enjoy the art, and admire the skill of the crafters, but we understand you may be tempted to buy a present for a loved one, or even treat yourself. We have recently added a small range of Fair-Trade gift items to compliment our ranges, alongside the Fair-Trade products used in our Coffee Shop.
Once you have looked at our art, relax and enjoy the loch-side views from the Coffee Shop area. We serve fresh ground coffee; Latte, Espresso and Cappuccino, tea, fruit infusions and so on. Also we serve delicious home baked scones, tray bakes, muffins and light snacks.
