Welcome to Paisley Art Institute
Established 1876

 

Since 1876 the Art Institute has been the hub of rewarding a high level of artistic talent not only in Paisley but throughout Scotland. Our  new committee, fresh from the resounding success of the 133rd annual exhibition in the prestigious Art Club,  are ready to prepare for our  next show.

This year we are off to Ayr at the MacLaurin galleries, Rozelle Estate. This is a lovely venue set in beautiful grassed surroundings with parking areas and it’s own tea room. It offers 5 galleries and is all on ground level. We are back to our traditional Spring slot, opening in May, so you may well be able to enjoy some fine weather and a stroll in the grounds.
