The Isle of Man Art Festival is organised by the Creative Network, a collective of around 80 Manx artists. For the 2025 Festival, we have partnered with the IOM Society of Architects, a group of Manx practising architects, to celebrate some of the best contemporary art and architecture practice on our Island.
Both organisations welcome you to create your own trail over two weekends to visit both artists and architects and to see their work. Artworks from the Contemporary Art Loan Collection can be found in some of the buildings of architectural interest courtesy of the IOM Arts Council.
