Artists on Display at Loch Melfort Hotel
The idyllic Argyll coast is an inspiration to many and we are incredibly lucky to have so many talented individuals in the area who showcase the beauty of the West Coast through their artwork. We are very proud to display local artwork here in the hotel. Much of the art on display is for sale and can be purchased at reception on behalf of the Artists.
We are also pleased to be an annual supporter (and venue) of Artmap Argyll and their Open Studios events. These events are an encouraging opportunity for Artmap Argyll artists to showcase their work across multiple venues and open their studios to the public. There is no pressure to buy but, if you do fall in love with a piece, you have the joy of meeting the artist and seeing how they go about their craft.
