Pitlochry Gallery Association for Arts & Crafts is a non-profit making organisation and commission from sales of work is donated to nominated charities. We do not have permanent premises but draw artists and craftspeople together once or twice a year to put on a mixed exhibition.
Once a year the monies raised from sales of work is disbursed. Donations are made to one local charity, one national charity and one international charity. In 2011 the charities to benefit from money raised in 2010 were two local charities - Heartland Radio (Highland Perthshire Local Radio Station) and Perthshire Abandoned Dogs Society, one national charity - the Jubilee Trust (which takes abled bodied and handicapped people sailing together) and two international charities - Sightsavers and the Pakistan Disaster Appeal. Each of those charities received a donation of £400.
The principle behind Pitlochry Gallery (since 1968) is to foster and encourage creative artists within the community by providing a showcase for them. It was originally linked to the Pitlochry East Church under the guidance of Rev.Frank Martin until his retirement in 1990. Sadly, Frank died in 2004.
Many of our exhibitors are now outwith the immediate community but many have links to the area through family or friends.
