The North East Open Studios is a not for profit organisation promoting Arts and Crafts in the North East of Scotland. Local artists and crafters open their own studios to the public or exhibit together in shared venues like Haddo House.
As well as the website (click the photo), you can reach their Facebook page here. They do use other social media platforms but we're all too old here to understand them. That's why help from the young folk of Ellon (that's most of you) is always welcome.
Danny and Joan Ross opened their home by Tolquhon Castle to art lovers in rural Aberdeenshire in 1987. It's now one of the longest established independent galleries in Scotland,
They celebrate and promote Scottish art, showing the best emerging artists as well as established modern masters. Several hundred artists are represented by the gallery, all of them carefully selected by Danny and Joan, who are always on hand and happy to discuss the work of any artist.
