Tides Changing
A Society of Scottish Artists members’ exhibition at Old Gala House.
We are delighted to announce a new collaboration with Live Borders in Old Gala House, Galashiels. Tides Changing will be one of two consecutive exhibitions inspired by Scotland’s coasts and waters. Scotland has 10,250 miles of stunning coastline. We are never, at any one point, far from the sea, lochs, canals or rivers. Our coasts and waters have always inspired artists, often eliciting responses that question our environmental sustainability and the impact on our precious natural resources.
Tides Changing is the first of a two-part Society of Scottish Artists members’ exhibition. This part of the exhibition will look at the immensity and beauty of our coasts and waters in and around Scotland.
Set in beautifully maintained grounds near the centre of Galashiels, Old Gala House is an impressive building dating back to 1583. Once home to the Lairds of Galashiels with over 400 years of history, the house is now a vibrant museum and gallery which tells the story of the town and its people.
