Blairs Museum

Blairs Museum have been in touch and would like to call out to North East Artists...


Recently restored portrait of the young Bonnie Prince Charlie

We are already entered for the NEOS 2011 but would like to put out a call to
all artists that we are actually available as a venue for exhibitions all
year round as opposed to just that week. We welcome artists working with
different types of media, only mindful of the fact that as a Catholic
organisation it could not conflict with their policies. Previously, we have
had photographers, watercolourists and textile designers who use a large
display area at the back of a beautiful and ornate church. We are out of the
way (4 miles out on the South Deeside Road) but enjoy scenic and peaceful
surroundings.


Mary Queen of Scots costumes

We don't ask for a percentage of any sales, only a donation of a piece of
artwork which we can include in our annual raffle to raise money to keep the
museum open. As the curator is present all year round, weekdays between 0900
and 1500, the artist does not need to be 'in residence'. However, we would
welcome talks/working practice wherever possible.

Please contact Vikki Duncan, curator, on 01224 863767.

Please help support Platform 22

As many of you will know Platform 22 Gallery has been a NEOS venue since opening in 2005. In that time we have out grown the existing building and we are now planning a new and improved facility with dedicated gallery, studio, workshop and coffee shop areas.

The planning application has been rumbling on since June last year, but we are at last nearing some sort of conclusion. To help the project across the finishing line we would very much appreciate if any of our supporters could take a moment to post a message of support with Aberdeenshire Council by the 28th of February 2010 at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/planning/apps/detail.asp?ref_no=APP/2010/0257

Platform 22 has always tried to support local artists and makers, and we hope that the new building will allow us to continue and develop this.

Many thanks for your help.

The next exhibition at Left Bank will be of work by The Aberystwyth Printmakers.

Left Bank July and August 2009

A preview of new work by Kristi Cumming Friday 17th July 2009
6pm - 9pm
Poetry 7pm - 7.30pm with time to look at work before and after.

The next exhibition opens on Friday July 17th and is of new landscape paintings by Shetland artist, Kristi Cumming whose work currently explores Northern islandscapes, their intense water laden colours and the remains of working from the land and the sea, past and present.

In The Office will be Mary Archibald's magical and enigmatic dolls.

In conjunction with the Shetland theme, I am delighted that Christine de Luca has agreed to come and read poetry at the preview. In addition I am grateful to Chris Dowle from Shetland who will play classical guitar and to Charles Dunbar, who lived in Shetland for many years and now lives in Tarland, who will open the event with the pipes.

'Birds, beasts and delicacies'
Preview: Friday 7th August 6pm - 8.30pm

Overlapping with this show will be another to coincide with the Tarland Show on the 8th August. The preview will be on Friday 7th August and the show includes work by Joyce Gunn Cairns, Helen Denerley, Jack Crabtree, Alexe Dilworth, James Newton Adams, Mary Archibald and Fraser Ritchie.

The show is inspired by the animals around us, both farmed and wild, and their intrinsic connection with both the changing appearance of the landscape and the economy.
