The Meffan Winter Show started as the ‘Christmas Extravaganza’, an open exhibition with a purchase-prize offered to enhance the Angus fine art collection with innovative and exciting work.

This annual winter show is now a key event in the Scottish arts calendar, providing an opportunity for artists of all levels based in Scotland to exhibit their work and features a diverse range of visual artworks, including paintings, sculpture, textiles and ceramics, created by professional and amateur artists from across Scotland.

Through the contributions of artists awarded prizes at the Winter Show, Angus has continued to develop a vibrant collection of art to be treasured for future generations.

The show runs from 31 October 2026 to 11 January 2027, and includes the ANGUSalive Purchase Prize of £1500 and a Visitor’s Choice Award for Amateur Artists of £200 chosen by public vote.
