Historic Kilmun free for open studios weekend

Historic Kilmun is opening its doors free of charge to the public  as part of the the Cowal Open Studios weekend later this month.

 

Cowal Open Studios open weekend takes place from Friday September 23 to Monday September 26 and will see more than 50 artists from across the area opening up their studios to the public, as well as displaying and showcasing their works at the Burgh Hall in Dunoon and Historic Kilmun.

 

Dinah McDonald of Historic Kilmun said they were delighted to be transforming the magnificent venue into an art gallery so that the public can view and purchase the various types of creativity produced by artists across Cowal, as well as experiencing and learning about Kilmun's  rich and vibrant history.

 

'It will also be an opportunity for visitors to find out all about the ECHO Trails project that highlights the walks and landmarks around east Cowal,' she added.

 

Jenny Phillips who is vice chairperson of Cowal Open Studios, said: 'The open weekend is now in its 15th year and is always a great opportunity for people to visit artists in their natural habitat and view artworks through our displays at the Burgh Hall and Historic Kilmun. They represent two amazing spaces in which to highlight the talented artists we have in this inspiring part of the world.'
