AD | Perthshire Artisans—A Community for 2026
As 2026 begins, one word is being expressed loud and clear in the small business world as well as amongst the big names—a word which has always been at the very core of Perthshire Artisans—Community.
Belonging to a community of like-minded creatives who understand the joys and challenges of running a creative micro-business offers essential support, nurturing growth, strengthening resilience, and maintaining relevance in an ever-changing and demanding world.
Membership of Perthshire Artisans connects creatives to a trusted, supportive community, one where ideas are tested, questions are safely asked, achievements shared and celebrated, and challenges are openly discussed. Regular online and face-to-face interactions provide the emotional and professional support needed to nurture lasting creativity and resilience.
All of this is evident in the comments shared by members after coming together as a community for an in-person, sector-focused workshop:
“I feel connected, in my tribe, not alone with these shared concerns, and felt lighter and more positive at the end of the day”
“It’s good to feel that I’m part of a creative community as working on your own is quite isolating”
“I feel confident to take a good look at my business, try new ideas and reset”
It’s clear that ‘community’ helps maintain motivation and enthusiasm, it also enhances their creative practice as peer feedback pushes standards higher and keeps connections alive, whilst fostering originality and valuing the purpose of their practice.
Beyond encouragement, community accelerates opportunity. Connections spark collaboration, referrals, and cross-disciplinary thinking. As 2026 unfolds we’ll enjoy working on opportunities for the Artisans to showcase their work in person and digitally, to regularly connect with each other and see meaningful connections grow.
We share the Artisans stories and activities via our fortnightly newsletters, news stories and social posts, all accessed on our website www.perthshire-artisans.scot.
Perthshire Artisans was established in 2020 and continues to be run by GrowBiz - Scotland’s rural enterprise support organisation for small businesses.
