Showcase of Scottish art in Brussels
13/06/2002
A showcase of the very best in Scottish contemporary art
and design is being held in Scotland House in Brussels
until March 2003.
Following on from last year's success, Scotland House
has organised a second exhibition on the theme of nature
and the environment.
The exhibition gives artists, designers and
craftspeople, from, or active in, Scotland the opportunity
to display their talent while raising the profile and
understanding of Scotland's culture throughout Europe.
The exhibition is being launched by
the Executive, in partnership with Scotland Europa and
Scottish Enterprise Glasgow. First Minister Jack
McConnell, officially opened the Scotland House
Exhibition on Thursday 6
th of June. Sotland House contains residents
from several other European Member States and, in one
year over 6,000 Europeans pass through its
corridors.
The exhibition displays very diverse examples of
Scottish interpretations of elements of nature. This
includes seascape, landscape, animal life and people in
their natural environment. More than 50 pieces are drawn
from a wide variety of disciplines, from crafts and fine
art to textiles, product design, interior and architectural
design.
The free catalogues are available and contain pictures
of all the works, as well as prices and contact details for
the artists, should visitors be tempted to take a little
piece home with them! There is also a possibility to
receive, on request, a guided tour.
