Tolquhon GallerySPRING EXHIBITION6 March to 5 April, 2016There are signs of spring; spring flowers are in bloom, the days are lengthening and we look forward to our annual Spring Exhibition. You are invited to the opening on Sunday 6 March from 2 pm to 5 pm. Should fierce winter weather hit north east Scotland on the first Sunday in March, the private view will be held on the following Sunday, 13 March. Many artists exhibiting are well known at Tolquhon but we are excited to have a number of artists showing with us for the first time.
We have been busy over the winter months, refurbishing the gallery with fresh paint, new lights and a warm and cheerful woodburning stove. So even on the coldest day, you can enjoy exhibitions in comfort. |
