We’re very pleased to be joined by four exceptional arts organisations from around Scotland for this panel session offering information and advice on working with galleries. Join Claire Craig from Travelling Gallery, Lindsay Bennett from Tatha Gallery in Newport-on-Tay, Andrew Parkinson from The Pier Arts Centre, Stromness, and Mike Darling from An Tobar to learn more about how different galleries select and work with artists, build their programmes and curate their shows. Find out how to build a relationship and work with different types of galleries, and get essential tips and advice on getting your work shown. Our panellists will also be answering questions from attendees via the
chat box.

We recognise that art can change lives and we create fair conditions and remove barriers to allow access and engagement to audiences in their own familiar surroundings. The gallery space offers an open and welcoming environment for people of all ages, background, and abilities to discover and enjoy contemporary art.
