As part of this annual tradition, the High Street undergoes a metamorphosis, with the coordinated efforts of the Penistone Arts Collective, local artists and local stores and businesses culminating in a visually stunning display that captivates residents and visitors alike. This initiative goes beyond mere aesthetic enhancement; it symbolizes a shared commitment to cultivating a lively and welcoming atmosphere within our community.
Not only is our High Street a gallery for local artists but Penistone Library joins in too with the book shelves and walls being adorned with work from our talented local artists.
Our annual programme, which can be found in local shops and cafes from early February onwards, (as well as on our website), includes our map, taking you on a journey of discovery.
2025 – Bigger, Brighter, More Brilliant: Art Events Reaching New Heights!
Our ‘Art In The Windows’ High Street Gallery has gone from strength to strength with 2025 seeing 38 artists in 38 venues – some in the window, some inside, some solo, some as a pair, a collaboration, and most appearing at least twice, so twice the amount of art to see and it all begins with a combined exhibition in our library.
You can meet our talented artists and the diverse range of styles, (the majority of whom are open to commissions) here…
