Highland Graduates

New Highland Graduates

New Work from recent Highland Art Graduates.

New Highland Graduates assembles the work of twelve recent art school graduates with a strong Highland connection; with particular emphasis on the Scottish Art Schools - Glasgow School of Art, Edinburgh College of Art, Duncan of Jordanstone, Gray's School of Art and of course Moray School of Art. Funded by the Highland Council this is an eclectic and challenging show; showcasing the diversity and vibrancy of our most contemporary artists.

The Highlands of Scotland have long been an inspiration to artists and crafts makers. The wild, rugged landscape, the vibrant colourful cultural life, the friendly hospitable people; all feed into a quality of life envied across Europe. It is little wonder that artists who grow up in this region remain here, or if they do not, will often continue to refer to its influence throughout their working lives.

In this year of the highland homecoming this show celebrates the quality and wealth of talent being produced by young artists throughout Scotland today.
