Grinneas Nan Eilean – The Islands’ Open Exhibition

Opening: 5pm, Sat 12 Dec. Exhibition run: 14 Dec 2026 - 30 Jan 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
