Evening Private View | Meet the Artist

Wednesday 2nd September, 6pm – 7:30pm

A West Coast gathering in the heart of Edinburgh. Frances Macdonald is leaving Crinan for a rare evening outing to join us for the opening of Sea Stories. Join us and meet Frances, explore her new paintings of Staffa, Lunga, Vatersay, Iona and the wild western coastline, and raise a glass with the artist and Gallery team.

With live West Coast Scottish music from Roland Fraser, we’ll bring a little of Crinan, the islands and the sea to Dundas Street for the evening.

Come for the paintings, stay for the music, and celebrate the West Coast with us.

Please note that The Gallery is on two floors, which is accessed by sets of stairs. Our Garden is open during fair weather only.
