Opening of the 29th Annual Ayrshire Save the Children Exhibition
Maclaurin Art Gallery • October 2, 2023
We had a lovely opening at the weekend to our Save the Children exhibition.
This is always a favourite and such a worthy cause with 40% of sales going to the charity. There are 200 artworks on display in 3 of our galleries, along with raffle tickets to a fantastic prize very kindly donated by the late HelenTurner's family. This show will run until Sunday 29 October.
Call in and see the great selection of artwork for sale from your favourite artists!
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
