Artist Gathering & Event Update

by Sarah Grant, 16 Aug 2009

RE:IMAGINING THE CENTRE’s Event Manager Lindsey Dunbar updates us on what’s been going on with the event planning for this Septembers event:

" With most of the artists dispersed across Scotland this summer for numerous exhibitions and events it was a real treat to gather everyone together this week to finally introduce the team and the artists to each other.

Local graffiti Artists Al MacInnes and Fin Macrae have been down in Edinburgh opening a show at the National Portrait gallery, visual artist John McGeoch was installing work at the Tartan Heart Music Festival at Belladrum and collaborative group Ganghut had been very busy preparing for a show in Dundee so to get most of the artists together was an achievement!

Nestled in the warmth of Hootanannys, one of the favourite establishments in the old town of Inverness, we introduced ourselves and explained a little more about each individual project. With most projects well underway it was a great chance for everyone to ask questions and realise where we could be working together. Also, a couple of other exciting developments, ideas for some ‘extra’ events which might surprise people over the course of the Reimagining the Centre weekend! Watch this space as things develop! "
