Arran Open Studios (AOS) organisers are striding into the new year and the eighth year of the event, with a call to all artists to register interest in taking part this coming August. Newcomers are always welcome.
Last year AOS members saw a slight shift in the demographic mix with more people deliberately coming to the island to take advantage of the long arts weekend.
One or two studios saw up to 60 per cent of their visitors coming from off-island specifi cally to visit the lively arts scene on Arran.
