#UnwrapArt
#UnwrapArt is SCAN’s annual campaign inviting the public to support Scotland’s artists and makers while buying gifts and experiences that loved ones will treasure.
Throughout the festive period, we encourage Christmas shoppers around the country to buy gifts from our talented members. We will share gift suggestions and details of upcoming Christmas markets and sales across our social channels, using the #UnwrapArt hashtag, and we encourage artists, makers, and the public to do the same.
To find out more check out the listings below, look out for our weekly gift guides, and check out the #UnwrapArt hashtag across social media channels.
