2020 Registrations Now Open!

Posted on by Rosy Naylor

If you are an artist living or working in the Forth Valley we would love to hear from you! Applications are now open until 31st January to participate in our 2020 event.

We plan to introduce a number of new elements to our next Forth Valley Art Beat:

  • A new participatory art public commission will be introduced (pending funding)
  • Cycling routes will be included to connect up many of the more rural locations
  • Our maps will be redesigned to show more detail and to highlight sustainable travel links

Whether you wish to open up your working space or studio, or host an exhibition elsewhere do get in touch. The event usually stretches from Alloa, Falkirk & Polmont areas in the East; Stirling, Bridge of Allan & Dunblane in the Central region; to Drymen & Buchlyvie in the West. Wherever you are based across the Forth Valley we would welcome your application. We look forward to bringing together another eclectic event that encompasses all the regions of the Forth Valley, celebrating creativity, community and collective working.

Gargunnock Pop-up Shop 5th November

Posted on by Avril Nicol

Ros, Tricia and Michael have exhibited together for a number of years, initially through Angus Open Studios, expanding to take in Dundee’s Flower and Food Festival, Taste Angus and Perth’s HandMade Show. With Michael’s move to Gargunnock earlier this year it was decided to show at Art Beat. With the success of that venture, they are running a Pop-up Shop in Gargunnock Community Centre for just one day – Saturday 5th November. Also exhibiting with them for the first time will be April Black, a recent graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and former pupil of Michael, who will be showing turned wood and papercuts.
