Open Studios
22nd + 23rd July 2023
We cannot wait to welcome you to our biggest ever Bute Studio Trail. Taking place on the weekend of 22nd/23rd July, our artists will open their studios/venues from 10am-5pm each day.
Visiting the studios on our Trail is a fantastic way to see the island, with venues on the east, west and south coasts as well as several in the main town of Rothesay. Many are within walking distance of the ferry point and you can hire bikes on the island or take the red tour bus which will drop you off close to venue locations. You can, of course, also drive around.
There is so much talent on our small island and there is something for everyone!
Our 2023 Brochure
Our 2023 Brochure will be available in April. Meantime, you can get a feel for the artists who exhibited last year.
Can I buy online from your artists?
Many of our artists have their own online stores (links on their individual pages) and some sell through Isle20.com
Getting to Bute
Bute is serviced by two ferries which depart the mainland from Wemyss Bay and Colintraive.
We are grateful to Mount Stuart for their continuing support of IBAC and the Open Studio event.
The group has been kindly supported by Mount Stuart for the past seven years and you will find work from some of our artists on sale at this stunning historic house.
