Art Pints
Art Pints is series of free relaxed and informal events including talks, workshops, creative chit-chat nights and get togethers.
The events highlight creatives and creative organisations in Aberdeen and beyond - to discuss what they do and inspire others over a pint! It’s a chance to get together, chat and connect our communities – which we believe is greatly important.
