Paint your way to this years Pittenweem Arts Festival… 
The charming village of Pittenweem has been home to the Pittenweem Arts Festival since 1982 – an event that brings together around 100 artists from all over Britain for 9 wonderful days in August (this year 6 to 14 August). Members of the Pittenweem community make their houses, studios, and public spaces available to the artists – allowing you to see inside some beautiful old buildings and to stroll leisurely around the exhibitions in a very relaxed way.
What’s on…
There are events to suit everyone during the festival, including a fossil treasure hunt and a ‘mad animals’ workshop for children; an open air painting competition for artists of all ages and abilities; chamber music at Kelllie Castle; a willow workshop and a weaving workshop; and a geo-walk to Elie where you get a chance to examine ancient rocks and search for garnets and fossils. Throughout the week you can follow the sculpture trail and see the stunning sculpture works that were too big to fit into the front room of a cottage, and there is an opportunity to ‘be the sculptor’ where you get to shape a steel bar on a real anvil.
Invited artists include the highly regarded Christine Borland, Philomena Pretsell, Nerine Tassie, and Bursary winner Jill MacLeod.
