Grinneas nan Eilean – The Islands’ Open Exhibition
Main Gallery
Exhibition opening: 5pm, Sat 12 December 2026
Exhibition run: 14 December – 30 January 2027
It’s back! The longest-running show in Island Art, dating back to its origins in the 1970s. A multi-coloured, multi-faceted showcase for the multiple talents in drawing, painting, sculpture, textiles, ceramics and more from these creative islands. This time it lands with a festive swagger, to brighten the Lewis winter. As much a community installation as an exhibition and a perfect market-place for that bespoke gift.
Closing date for entries is the 5th of December. Entry forms are available from the front desk or can be downloaded here: Grinneas-nan-Eilean-2026-entry-form
