More than 150 paintings will fill Green Gallery in Buchlyvie this November as the Stirlingshire gallery opens its Christmas Exhibition with a weekend craft fair.
From original paintings to handmade ceramics, glass and jewellery, there will be plenty to explore, whether you’re looking for a gift or a piece of art to live with.
Set in the Stirlingshire countryside in Buchlyvie, within easy reach of Balfron, Killearn and Aberfoyle, the architect-designed gallery has spent 34 years championing original work by artists and makers from Scotland and beyond.
Its independence gives it the freedom to follow its own eye, bringing together work by established artists and introducing visitors to emerging talent. Alongside the paintings, a changing selection of ceramics, glass and jewellery gives visitors another reason to return.
The Christmas Exhibition brings together work by some of the gallery’s favourite artists, while the fair showcases a carefully chosen group of Scottish makers. The emphasis is on handmade pieces you’d be unlikely to find on the high street. It’s a chance to browse for someone whose tastes you know well, or to come across a painter or maker whose work you’d like to see more of.
The preview takes place on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November, with both the exhibition and the fair open from 10am to 4pm each day. One of two special weekend events the gallery holds each year, it offers a chance to make an outing of the visit. Coffee and hot and cold food will be available, and there is plenty of parking.
The Christmas Exhibition continues until Wednesday 23 December, so there’s time to return for a closer look at a painting that caught your eye.
You can also browse and buy paintings through the gallery’s website, where new work is added regularly. If you’re wondering how a particular piece might look in your home, the gallery offers private viewings and can arrange for you to see the work in your own space.
