Caitlin Hanna's Creative Journey: New Exhibitions and Joining Perthshire Artisans

Caitlin Hanna has recently reached exciting milestones in their artistic career. With one ongoing and another upcoming exhibition, and their new membership in Perthshire Artisans, they are expanding their presence in their local art community. This post explores these developments, highlighting how they reflect Caitlin's growth as an artist and what they mean for their future work.

Joining Perthshire Artisans: A New Chapter

Becoming a member of Perthshire Artisans marks a significant step in Caitlin’s career. This collective supports local artists by providing exhibition opportunities, workshops, business support, and a strong network. When Caitlin first started their mentoring within Made With Care, they highlighted a long term goal as becoming a member of Perthshire Artisans. Not even a year later they were successful in their application.

What Perthshire Artisans Offers

• Community: Access to a group of creative professionals who share ideas and collaborate

• Exhibition Space: Regular chances to display work in galleries and public venues

• Workshops: Skill-building sessions and artist talks to enhance creative techniques

• Promotion: Support in marketing and reaching new audiences, sharing and selling Artisans work through their social media and website

  
  

For Caitlin, this membership means more than just exposure. It offers a platform to grow their practice, learn from peers, and contribute to the local art scene.

How Caitlin Fits Into the Group

The confessional style of Caitlin's work, which blends prose, mark making, painting and drawing, complements the diversity of Perthshire Artisans. Caitlin’s participation will bring fresh perspectives and further diversify the range of makers within Perthshire Artisans.

Two New Exhibitions Showcasing Caitlin’s Work

Caitlin’s art will be featured in two distinct exhibitions this summer, each offering a unique platform to connect with audiences and fellow artists.

Exhibition One: 'Art Exhibition'

This group exhibition focuses on a collective of artists based at WASPS Perth Creative Exchange, where Caitlin's studio is based. The exhibition challenges traditional boundaries by putting artwork in a outside public space in the heart of the local community. Visitors can expect to see Caitlin's work alongside some well known names in the Perthshire creative community.

• Location: St Pauls Square, Perth, PH1 5QW

• Dates: 20th June to 14th August

  
  

This opportunity allows Caitlin to present their evolving style to a broader audience, gaining valuable feedback and recognition.

Exhibition Two: Assemble 2026

This second exhibition celebrates both the joining of Perthshire Artisans, and the body of new work Caitlin has been producing, exploring new materials such as oil pastels and focusing on prose over imagery. Caitlin's work draws inspiration from their own lived experience, and their work often utilises text to communicate alongside expressive mark making and nature inspired imagery.

• Location: Civic Hall, 2 High Street, Perth, PH1 5PH

• Dates: 18th July to 2nd August, 10am - 5pm.

  
  

This show will highlight Caitlin’s work as an official part of Perthshire Artisans.

The Impact on Caitlin’s Artistic Path

These developments are not just milestones but also catalysts for Caitlin’s creative evolution.

• Broader Audience Reach: Exhibitions and artisan membership increase visibility

• Creative Growth: Exposure to new ideas and feedback fuels creativity

• Community Engagement: Stronger connections with fellow artists and art lovers

  
  

By embracing these opportunities, Caitlin is positioning themselves for sustained success and deeper artistic fulfillment.
