Rattray Arts Festival

The Rattray Art Festival was successfully established in August 2010. 

The idea crystallised during the long winter months as the organiser was house bound, snowed in with a large flock of sheep and yearning for a bit of cultural stimulation. She and a friend started from scratch, contacting any artists whose pictures caught their eye, and found great enthusiasm for the idea. 

The inaugural festival attracted a huge variety of works from both the well established, well known artist community as well as talented emerging amateur artists who enjoyed the prestige of hanging their works in a gallery environment.
