Lines of communication open between Argyll and Bute arts department and This Is Who We Are
The organisers of the This Is Who We Are exhibition feel that there is now a will to bring this exhibition to Argyll, which is what they themselves want to do. They welcome open communications and are hoping for a fast proposal to which they can respond quickly.
More good news is that the initial list of possible venues that For Argyll put together yesterday was extended today by additional suggestions received:
- Easdale Island has a great hall, a culturally lively community and is interested in the exhibition
- Islay would also be interested in the talk and slide show
- An Tobar in Tobermory has its exhibition programme booked up for this year already but, liking the sound of the exhibition suggested other possible venues: Glengorm Castle has a small gallery space just north of Tobermory and Calgary Art In Nature also has a gallery space at Calgary
- Helensburgh’s Victoria Hall – hosting a Food Fair as part of the town’s Franco-Scottish week at the end of July – is another possibility
Islay’s interest in the talk-and-slide-show programme may be of interest to other places too. It is ideally suited to smaller venues and this format enables the project to reach dispersed audiences.
It may be that a single appropriate venue for what is a very undemanding exhibition, coupled wiht a tour of the talk-and-slide-show programme would respond best to the manifest widespread interest in this project across Argyll.
