ART
Art is an integral part of Elmslie House. Not only is Anna (Elmslie’s owner) an avid supporter of artists and makers, the house has also seen its share of artistic visitors over the years.
From Dame Laura Knight (when she painted the portrait of Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw in what is now the Hall at the house), to renowned local artists, the house has always opened its doors to artists and creatives – whether they are exhibiting their own work, those of artists they admire, or to people wanting to hold and attend creative workshops and classes.
Regular exhibitions take place at Elmslie House – from local artists to Mid-Century painters and printmakers. We also have a number of art classes and workshops taking place at Elmslie House.
Blue Magpie Contemporary Craft Fairs are held twice a year and are always highlights in the Elmslie House calendar. Visit the Blue Magpie website for everything related to these fairs.
