The Big Art Show, Paisley is a large-scale public exhibition. Show now closed for 2022
Welcome to the Big Art Show, Paisley’s largest ever open art exhibition.
This new show for the area is a truly open, inclusive, and joyous initiative supporting visual artists and communities to participate in and enjoy the experience of coming together in fruitful purpose. The exhibition takes place in the landmark buildings of the former Paisley Co-operative & Manufacturing Society (1862). Built by hand-loom weavers to address the need for renewed industry and co-operation around textile manufacturing which was rapidly becoming mechanised and threatening labour, income, and social stability. This great period of industrial change and social upheaval reminds us all too well of the lessons of the last few years.
