A fantastic array of art – capturing magical moments in time, portraits and landscapes – is currently on offer at the Auld Kirk Museum in Kirkintilloch.
The Annual Art Exhibition is a celebration of inspiration, insight and technique – including works by talents from the Kirkintilloch, Bishopbriggs, Lenzie and Campsie areas. You can enjoy the show until 7 September 2023.
The exhibition was created by acclaimed artist Dick Stevenson to showcase local amateur and professional artists – growing from a competition in his small Townhead gallery to a full-scale celebration at the Auld Kirk.
The 51st Annual Art Exhibition prizegiving ceremony took place recently:
- The Anne Stevenson Memorial Prize for best watercolour, named after Mr Stevenson’s late first wife, was awarded to John Gahagan (pictured top) for the painting 'Tron Church'
- The East Dunbartonshire’s Purchase Prize was awarded to Russell Angus (pictured middle) for 'Seilebost Beach, Harris'
- The Jack Lucas Memorial Award (second place) went to Alan Finnie (pictured below), for the painting 'St Mary’s & Canal'
This year's show – which is supported by the Auld Kirk and East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture (EDLC) Trust – features more than 40 captivating works.
Congratulations to everyone involved for another stunning celebration of talented local artists and their work.
As well as being an inspirational and engaging experience, it is also a great opportunity to purchase an original and unique piece of art. I hope as many people as possible take the chance to drop in."
