We passionately believe that art offers empowerment, increases understanding and improves communication. All our collaborative projects, residencies and learning opportunities are about increasing participation.
We organise an annual programme of national and international contemporary art exhibitions, as well as talks, critical debates and workshops.
We provide the widest range of media openly available anywhere in Scotland. These facilities include the hire of video equipment and the use of our printmaking workshops and photography darkroom.

The Passenger 1975 (PG) 126 minutes
Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni Written by Mark Peploe Cast: Jack Nicholson, Maria Schneider, Jenny Runacre, Ian Hendry, Steven Berkof
Arriving at a hotel in the Sahara Desert, journalist David Locke (Nicholson) finds a dead gunrunner in the neighbouring room. The dead man resembles the journalist, so Locke decides to assume his identity.
Tagline: I used to be somebody else... but then I traded myself in.
"Jack Nicholson — playing unusually downbeat — exudes ennui as the globetrotting reporter posing as a dead arms dealer, while Maria Schneider emerges from her Last Tango shadow as the fellow traveller who is intrigued and moved by his desperate deception. " - David Parkinson, Empire
