It is that time of year again - what can we say? Over 30 artists. Over 300 artworks, none bigger that A5. Nothing in a frame or in a mount, and nothing selling for more than £100. We know who is exhibiting, or at least some of them. We know that you know and like their work. We do not know exactly what will arrive - but we are looking forward to it greatly.
This is one of the most exciting and looked forward to shows in The Line's year - we love it, and we know you do too.
See you there!
When The Line first opened in 1995, one of the first artists to exhibit with us was Val Hamilton, who made lovely and varied silver jewellery. Her technical ability mixed with a lovely sense of humour, making her work popular and much appreciated.
After a while, Val moved to Oban and, to a degree, we lost contact. However that circumstance has been put right and we are delighted to welcome Val back to The Line with a show tracing her development from those early days, and recording a move away from silver to collage and more. We think you will enjoy the story.
The Line is delighted to welcome you to an exhibition all about Linlithgow - Sarah Keast, Nicola Macartney, Leasley Anne Derks, Morag Stevenson and Nikki Monaghan have all prepared new work reflecting their response to the Royal Burgh. Each knows Linlithgow well, either living here or having visited on many, many occasions - and we look forward very much to what they will be bringing us.
Here, as a taster for the show, is Over the Loch by Morag Stevenson.
Everyone welcome!
Silent Light is a selection of photographs by award winning Bo'ness photographer David Queenan, especially selected to show in Linlithgow.
Davis has received a number of accolades including winning the Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year competition in 2015, runner up in the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards in 2019 and has had several images highly commended in the UK Landscape Photographer of the year. His evocative images invite contemplation and quiet - and invite us to take time and breathe.
All welcome.
