Upcoming events

Explore the Gledhill Arts Library with creative therapist Vicky Inam in a welcoming and warm beginner-friendly environment.
Vicky will guide the group in short mindfulness exercises before offering a series of activities designed to jumpstart your creativity. The Gledhill Arts Library houses almost 2000 books on art and culture - using some of these books (and their contents!) as prompts, Vicky will encourage us to improvise and experiment with mark-making, free drawing and other intuitive art techniques. Whether you're a seasoned artist, or entirely convinced you don't have a creative bone in your body, this session will offer something for you.
Sunday 29th March 10 am to 1pm
Join Deborah Fallas in the morning for acrylic painting. Originally from Aberdeen, Deborah has been living in the Scottish Borders for over 30 years. Her paintings are colourful with bold quick expressive brushstrokes and built up in layers. Texture being made from scratching, scraping or maybe pencil marks. In this workshop you will go over the basics of acrylic painting and then work with palette knives to create simple abstract landscapes full of colour..
ArtAffect is delighted to welcome Kirsty Maclean’s work into our exhibition space! Kirsty Maclean is an artist working primarily with acrylics and metallic materials, creating abstract pieces that focus on reflection, light, texture, and colour. Her work is deeply influenced by the sea and the Scottish Borders countryside, blending serenity and vibrancy into her art. Exhibited works will be for sale and will include framed paintings and some set to prints in sizes A4 and A3. Entry to the exhibition is free.
