Throughout the Year Pittenweem is becoming known as a small town where a variety of art and craft can be seen and bought throughout the year. Several small galleries and shops have opened in the past few years, showing changing exhibitions of mainly Scottish work. It is also the home of the Scottish Collection of Outsider Art or as Joyce Laing the curator prefers to call it, "Art Extraordinary". What attracts artists to Pittenweem is the stunning location offering endless subject material, the clear air and vibrant colours, and not least, the highly successful annual Pittenweem Arts Festival. Planning for the forthcoming Festival starts as soon as the last one finishes, with invited artists and commissioned plays etc having been arranged well before that. The 30 or so resident "Pittenweem Artists" are mostly full time and exhibit widely across Britain and Europe. Also, each Easter and before Christmas, many of the galleries open new exhibitions and many of the artists' studios are open at those weekends. ***************************************************
