CREATE: OOT N ABOOT IN KIRRIE 2024

This is our new ‘En Plein Air’ Open Event where selected artists have an opportunity to come to Kirriemuir and “Create Oot N Aboot In Kirrie” using any medium of choice. Our Selected Artists participate by painting or drawing outdoors over the *August Bank Holiday weekend (3rd and 4th August 2024) then present their artworks at the end of the event for an exhibition of En Plein Air artworks during August. On Monday 5th August we will hold a ‘Preview’ display and announce the prize winners. This En Plein Air Event will become an Annual Event where Scottish Artists and those who have a connection to Scotland will be invited to join in on our "Create Oot N Aboot In Kirrie" outdoor painting and drawing event and exhibition.

*The August bank holiday, first introduced in 1871, was apparently given to bank employees for the purpose of being able to enjoy the cricket season. The original date was the first Monday in August. In 1965 England, Wales and Northern Ireland changed from the first Monday to the last Monday in August.
Scotland chose to keep the original date.
