Celebrating Scottish Arts
Local artists from around Scotland, in every medium
THE GREEN GALLERY
Established 24 years ago, the Green Gallery has garnered a reputation for showcasing the very best artists and artists-craftsmen working in Scotland. Recently opened in Dollar, the next exhibition will be held on the 11 September, with wonderful landscapes from Chris Bushe and Sandra Moffat, figurative animals from Lara Scouller and Heloise Maylin, and wonderful sculptures and glass.

NOMADS TENT
The Nomads Tent is a warehouse of tribal art, specialising in both traditional and contemporary rugs, carpets and kilims. The shop also sources hand-made furniture, textiles, artefacts and jewellery from countries including India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia – like this vintage kitchen wall unit with hand-painted ceramics from Morocco.

TATHA GALLERY
Ghostlands examines the work of artists Robbie Bushe, Kate Downie and Ronald Plowman, who share a preoccupation to draw and paint a world which reveals their distinct visual meanderings between observed and imagined places. Each is very much connected to the North East Scotland legacy of lyrical narratives, with its stark, unromantic imagery. Each demonstrates a commitment to imaginative depiction through dexterous and searching drawing. The exhibition runs from 27 August to 24 September. Tel: 01382 690800, www.tathagallery.com
JOLOMO
John Lowrie Morrison’s final three exhibitions of the year will centre on The Hebrides, in particular the island of Iona, which he can see from his Mull studio.
