About us

Ayr Arts Guild is a voluntary body and a registered charity. Membership is open to any person or group who shares our interests.

We’re here to help keep Ayrshire’s cultural life flourishing.

Read on to see what we do - and why you’d want to join us...

Orchestra

Ayr Concert Series

We run the Ayr Concert Series, bringing premier professional orchestras to Ayrshire each year.

The Organist Entertains

Every Monday from April to November, our £6 noontime concerts bring outstanding organists from around Scotland (and far beyond!) to delight you for an hour.

Nurturing young talent

Thanks to the Guild, hundreds of local young musicians attend full-scale professional orchestral concerts with their parents/carers at little or no cost. We also administer the Bill Grierson Award, supporting young people involved in the performing and creative arts.

Supporting creative organisations

We provide a forum and a voice for Ayrshire’s creative community.

And we connect our affiliated groups with audiences and future participants. AAG’s weekly Diary Update brings event publicity to hundreds of actively interested local readers.
