PLEASE NOTE:

ALL EXHIBITIONS ON THIS PAGE HAVE FINISHED, THE ARTWORKS HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THE ARTISTS AND ARE NO LONGER FOR SALE.

Pick and Mix from the Maclaurin Collection

from Saturday 16th November 2024

We are currently showcasing some of the hanging works from the Maclaurin's permanent collection. The Friends of the Maclaurin were invited into the belly of the archives to select 2 each of their favourite works for this show!

What resulted is a most interesting mix of current, established Scottish artists, Peter Howson OBE, James Fullarton, Michael Clark and Charles Jamieson, together with some renowned 20th century modern British artists, Ivon Hitchens, Terry Frost, John Bellany and Joan Eardley. And much more! The permanent collection is not always on display and so we intend to keep this running until the end of February, giving you all a chance to see some of this fabulous collection!

Barbara Rae CBE RA

TIMES AND PLACES EXHIBITION

Saturday 22nd June - Sunday 8th September 2024

Times and Places delves into how Rae has perceived and interpreted the land throughout her career, often revisiting specific locations frequently to view and capture the ever-evolving environment.

Not only do we witness the gradual evolution of her work but also how Rae continues to record the memory of the landscape, how they themselves are the witnesses to human presence and the changes over time.
