PENICUIK ARTS ASSOCIATION

Penicuik Arts Association was founded in Autumn 1977 when Penicuik was expanding rapidly. A group of like-minded residents worked together with the aim of improving the cultural and creative life of what was essentially a new town. They later acquired the premises at 2/4 West Street Penicuik. They set up a vegetarian café in the premises and started showing regular art exhibitions. The Association still occupies these premises and the café gallery is still a key aspect of our work... The PCAA is a charitable body whose purpose is to promote and encourage the study, practice and knowledge of the Arts and seek to enhance personal and community wellbeing in Penicuik and surrounding district. The organisation is run entirely by volunteers... As part of our 45th Anniversary celebrations, we're creating a page of links to photo albums and YouTube clips from past years.
