Shopping for Art ...and so much more!

Inspiration for painting, pottery, photography and writing comes naturally in this area of tranquillity and open space. Galloway has a wealth of arts and craft studios and a number of shops specialising in art, craft and quality gifts. Many of the artists offer their products in the many shops in and around our three towns of character. During May these artists working in paint, wood, pottery, glass, textiles and other media have their own festival known as the Spring Fling where their studios are open directly to the public.
