Ayr Sketch Club Annual Exhibition 2024
The Maclaurin Gallery • January 24, 2024
Saturday 27 January until Thursday 7 March 2024
Our first exhibition of the year and what better way to start it than with this popular show; always a crowd pleaser! In fact, Ayr Sketch Club has been exhibiting with us since our doors opened back in 1977, some 47 years ago!
They currently have around 50 active members and their work (for sale) will be shown in 3 of our galleries. For those who would like more information about the Club, hop onto their website at www.ayrsketchclub.com.
We look forward to your visit here at the gallery.
Saturday 20 June - Sunday 30 August 2026 Founded in 1826, the Royal Scottish Academy supports art and architecture in Scotland. It is an independent, non-governmental institution, governed by Members to operate on a charitable basis.
We were delighted to host the Private View for Visual Arts Scotland on Saturday afternoon and what a turn out it was! This exhibition FUTURE FOLKLORE: THE ART AND CRAFT OF STORYTELLING has over 300 pieces of contemporary art on display and, as a result, we also had a very busy Private View! The exhibition was opened by Chair of the Maclaurin Trust, John Walker, along with Amanda Airey, Trustee of Visual Arts Scotland. Visual Arts Scotland supports over 1400 artists and makers in and around Scotland and we are very fortunate that VAS brings this major show across to Ayrshire. Please take advantage of it being right here on your doorstep! As always, entry is free to the gallery and all artworks for sale. Keep an eye out for some of our Ayrshire artists taking part as well.
Coming Soon from VISUAL ARTS SCOTLAND Private View: Saturday 28 March 2026 2pm. Exhibition Runs: Sunday 29 March - Wednesday 27 May
