Successful Summer School

FCA&C recently held a summer school in collaboration with the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Charitable Trust. Aimed at 5th and 6th year pupils who were hoping to go on shortly to art school, the 2 day event was experienced by 10 pupils from all over Fife. They met 3 practising artists who described their career path to date and also gave them some practical sketching exercises. It was so successful that we hope to make this an annual event. As one pupil commented on leaving “…opened my eyes as to what art college would be like and in fact really
got me excited about going.” You can’t get better than that and we wish them all a lot of success in their future.

Art4Peace Exhibition 2011 – Contemporary Arts Dunfermline

We at Contemporary Arts Dunfermline are creating a Peace Exhibition for November. It will run for one month, from Armistice Day through to the Christmas Season. It will be an awareness exhibition with information provided for by Unesco, Habitat Housing, Peace Train and various other organisations. We will also be putting on a display of children’s art …this part is very important as the art is from children in Israel and Palestine that are being taught the value of living together with no warring factions in the way. It will be a mixed bag but extremely interesting also! This is to be held at the CAD Gallery in the Kingsgate Dunfermline.
