Dewar Arts Award – Meet the Artist Events at the Botanics – Saturday 19 January and Saturday 23 February

The Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh is holding two ‘Meet the Artist’ events in connection with its ‘Roots to Shoots’ exhibition. The events feature successful Scottish artists who have forged careers in the arts and provide an opportunity for young people interested in a career in the arts to find out more.

Organised in connection to the ‘Roots to Shoots’ exhibition currently on display in the John Hope Gateway at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, these events offer the opportunity to meet artists who have received a Dewar Arts Award (www.dewarawards.org).

In the first session, on Saturday 19 January, the jeweller Jonathan Boyd will be interviewed by the novelist Jenni Fagan. In the second, on Saturday 23 February, the painter Caroline Walker will be interviewed by curator Eve Smith.
