ART TALKS!

We are currently running an exciting Art Talks programme following a successful ‘trial run’ in the Summer. This involves us going out to a wide variety of Care Homes and related healthcare settings to speak about Art, such as paintings they rent from us on their walls, copies of pictures and Art books or even paintings people have done themselves. The aim is to further engage people in Art, particularly those people in healthcare settings and to stimulate interesting discussions. To lead the talks, we are now training a talented group of people with prior experiences of working in Art and Education.

Wine Tasting at Majestic Wine







We had a wonderful evening last night at Majestic Wine. After hanging the two Prestigious Prints in the fantastic space in the Leith Walk store we were invited to taste the fantastic range of 4 whites, 5 reds, 2 rosé, 2 gins and 3 lagers. We didn't taste them all but gave it a very good effort.
