A picturesque fishing village, with narrow wynds running down to the working harbour, Pittenweem’s unique atmosphere has attracted many artists over the years.

Frequently shown in paintings, Pittenweem presently has about thirty artists resident in the village and more in the surrounding chain of small villages set along this lovely coastline, known as the East Neuk of Fife.

The Festival hosts both well-established artists and newcomers. Some of the past invited artists are mentioned in the archive. There are over 100 artists exhibiting in the village in houses garages studios gardens and anywhere that has wall space. There is also our Open Art Exhibition to view.

These exhibitions, including the invited artists, are all free to visitors to the Pittenweem Arts Festival.
