More than 150 people attended the launch of the 12th Perthshire Open Studios Showcase Exhibition on Friday evening.
The event was formally opened by Perth and Kinross Provost Dennis Melloy. Artists and invited guests enjoyed the impressive range of around 200 works of art and craft.
Award-winning Perthshire photographer Simon Jauncey is the Featured Artist with a magnificent display of landscape photography in world-wide locations. Simon is a finalist in the 2019 Scottish Portrait Awards.
The exhibition is open daily from 10am-5pm at The Barn Gallery in The Bield at Blackruthven, Tibbermore, Perth PH1 1PY.
A group of artists will be in residence during the two weeks of the exhibition, which runs until 15 September.
They will be on hand to welcome visitors and to talk about their work and the exhibition in general.
