Pentland’s Open Studios (POSt) Art Trail was so popular in 2025 that it is back this summer over the weekend of 15-16th August 2026 – make sure you put it in your diaries!
POSt is now calling for a diverse range of talented and professional artists and makers to join them for 2026’s annual Art Trail. As the founder John Elliott outlines, ‘we are now open for new artists to join our collective of existing artists and makers, united by our passion to forge inspiring connections and by our location in the beautiful upper valley of the Water of Leith’. The art trail follows the four villages of Balerno, Currie, Juniper Green and Colinton.
If you are a professional artist or maker and you are interested in joining us, please go to https://postudios.org/open-call/ for full details of our selection criteria and how to apply.
Even if you don’t live within these villages, we may still be able to find you a lovely space to exhibit, so please let us know on our online form.
Call for Artists closes on 14th February 2026. We look forward to hearing from you!
POSt is always on the lookout for suitable local venues and studios to exhibit our artists’ beautiful work, so if you live or run an organisation in our Art Trail area and think you might have a space that is suitable for the public to come through and spend time in meeting our artists (in your house or garden maybe) please contact us on venues@postudios.org.
We are also always looking for friendly faces to help us as volunteers with a range of roles – so do drop us a line and say hallo on via volunteers@postudios.org
