The Pier Arts Centre presents its annual celebration of art and craft by artists and makers who live and work in Orkney.

The exhibition showcases a broad cross section of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video and crafts and includes artists with professional backgrounds and others who, without formal study, have discovered the pleasures and challenges that are the rewards of creative activity.

The work shown reflects the wide variety of subject matter that inspires artists and makers working in Orkney and the many interpretations and forms that expression takes - from landscape and seascape, flora and fauna to the more abstract, the humorous and conceptual - all find a home in this popular annual event.

With all works for sale, the exhibition allows an unparalleled opportunity to revel in the breadth and joy of Orkney’s artistic expression.

The Own Art scheme offers the opportunity to apply for interest free loans* of between £100 and £2000 for the purchase of original works of art or craft in any media. Loans are repayable in 10 monthly instalments. *Representative 0% APR

If you would like to buy an artwork or know more about Own Art, a member of staff will be able to assist you.
