Catterline Arts Festival

The Catterline Arts Festival is a multi-venue exhibition based in the village of Catterline on the North-East coast of Scotland and was held on the last weekend in August.

Curated and organised by a local commitee, the festival includes a variety of artforms from photography to paintings, time-based installations to ceramics by invited local, national and international artists and makers.

Alongside the displayed works are a number of creative workshops for the audience to also have the opportunity to make aswell as view artwork.

An outdoor cafe run by local people raises money for local charities Roxburgh House and CLAN.
