6 Mar 2012 in Highland, Visual Arts & Crafts

Please see below a round up of news and forthcoming events at An Talla Solais in Ullapool:

Members in Eden (every day until 31st March 2012 (Eden Court opening hours))
The An Talla Solais Members’ Show is currently open to the public at Eden Court, Inverness. An Talla Solais (ATS) would like to express a huge thank you to the tireless hanging team and to the extra volunteers who helped them carry almost 100 pictures up to the gallery space – the support was very much appreciated.

Showing at Eden Court is a great way for ATS members’ work to be exposed to a new audience, and ATS are sure it will be appreciated by Eden Court’s many visitors. The exhibition is a wonderful example of the diversity and quality of members’ work, from Helen Michie’s intimate ceramic plant prints to Dan Murray’s arresting portraits. It’s open until the 31st March: do go and see it!
