ULAIDHEAN / TREASURES | SSA AT GAIRLOCH MUSEUM
The SSA is delighted to be collaborating with Gairloch Museum for the first time with an upcoming exhibition Ulaidhean / Treasures taking place across both the Upper and Lower galleries in Gairloch Museum, 6 July – 28 September 2024.
Behind the Museum at Achtercairn, Gairloch there is a little hill called Torr na h-Ulaidh, or the hill of the treasure. Local folklore tells us that a treasure was once buried at the back of this hill by people fleeing from an enemy and that it remains hidden to this day. It is from this place name that we have taken the title for the exhibition, Ulaidhean/Treasures.
The exhibition includes work by invited artist, Pen Reid as well as work from SSA Members selected from the open call.
