Annual art show set to open to the public
The work of artists from across Scotland will go on show in Forfar from next Saturday when ANGUSalive hosts the annual Meffan Winter Show.
Originally launched as the ‘Christmas Extravaganza”, the Meffan Winter Show has developed into one of the key events in the Scottish arts calendar.
The exhibition provides an opportunity for artists of all levels from across Scotland to exhibit their work, featuring a diverse range of visual art including painting, sculpture, textiles and ceramics.
Through the contributions of prize-winning artists over many years, Angus has continued to develop a vibrant collection of art that will be treasured by future generations.
The exhibition includes the ANGUSalive Purchase Prize of £1,500, offering the opportunity for a selected artwork to become part of the ANGUSalive collection, as well as the Visitor's Choice Award for Amateur Artists of £200, chosen by public vote.
Meghann Logue, museums, galleries & archives exhibitions Lead, said: “Every year the Winter Show brings fresh ideas, new voices and exceptional artwork to the Meffan. It's a brilliant opportunity to experience the breadth of creative talent across Scotland.”
The Meffan Winter Show 2026 will run at The Meffan, on Forfar’s West High Street, from Saturday, October 31 until Monday, January 11, 2027.
Visitors are invited to browse the exhibition, vote for the Visitor's Choice Award and perhaps find a unique festive gift while supporting Scottish artists.
