A rich tradition
Since the times of the Picts or
"painted people", the people of Angus have expressed themselves in sculpture, music and in paint. Writers and artists have found their muse in the very particular moods of the weather and seasons, and in the big skies and abundant natural assets of the county. Public and private galleries and workshops in town and country exhibit a plethora of fine art and craft, inspired by the light, and the land and sea.
Today, Angus hosts superb theatrical, dance and musical events and in traditional, blues, contemporary and classical styles, and resident artists and craftmakers express themselves in paint, print, ceramics, textiles, wood, glass and stone. The county is graced with fascinating museums and visitor centres, interpreting historic artefacts and images in an accessible and entertaining manner.
