In the 1960s East Linton's commercial activity and population showed signs of decline, following a successful economic and social history as an important farming centre, supported by a number of mills, built along the banks of the River Tyne and the railway connection. To overcome this decline, the Traders Association was formed in order to raise the profile of the community. In 1968 the idea of an art exhibition was drawn from the village's former popularity with artists such as Arthur Melville, Robert Noble, Martin Hardie, John Pettie (to name a few) who were natives or lived in East Linton. The judge for this first show was William G. Gillies and Stanley White, former and current Principal of Edinburgh College of Art at the time.
The show has been run by volunteers annually ever since and raises funds for the Community Hall in which the exhibition is held.
