This September, Ullapool isn’t just a place—it’s a canvas. From shop windows to gallery walls, lampposts to library corners, the village is bursting with colour and imagination thanks to Art Week 2025, hosted by An Talla Solais.

Running from 5th to 14th September, this annual celebration invites everyone—from seasoned artists to curious newcomers—to share their work in public spaces across town. It’s not just about exhibitions—it’s about connection. You’ll find:

• Pop-up displays in cafés, community halls, and even the harbourfront

• Interactive workshops for all ages, encouraging hands-on creativity

• Local collaborations that blend storytelling, heritage, and visual design

What’s striking this year is how deeply the art reflects Ullapool’s spirit—resilience, humour, and a shared love of place. Whether it’s a textile piece inspired by the sea, a photo series capturing village life, or a child’s drawing taped proudly in a shop window, every contribution adds to the collective story.

As one volunteer put it, “It’s not just art—it’s how we show we care.”
