Glasshouse: Contemporary Art, Craft & Design Fair

Artists and designers from across Scotland will showcase their high-quality products at a specialist fair in Westhill to celebrate the town’s thriving reputation for innovation and excellence.

The unique setting of a greenhouse on the outskirts of the town’s international subsea campus will be the unconventional location for the GLASSHOUSE event on March 22 and 23.

The contemporary art, craft and design fair will showcase the high-quality enterprises of local, national and international visual artists, designers and makers and provide an opportunity for some of Aberdeenshire’s most exciting creative makers to sell their work.

A free creative bus tour will take visitors on a creative journey over the weekend of the GLASSHOUSE event. Buses will travel in a loop from Westhill Town Centre, via Subsea 7 East Campus to Foxlane Garden Centre, meeting a variety of artistic and creative projects along the way

GLASSHOUSE is part of Aberdeenshire Council’s Be Part of the Picture placemaking programme, and a collaboration with SMART Consultants to support and promote Aberdeenshire’s creative industries.
