Seven Artists for Spring
Michael J. Ashcroft • Josephine Broekhuizen • Winifred Hodge • James Orr • Anitra Rushbrook • Amanda Simmons • Rosie Villiers - Stuart
Our current exhibition features the work of seven contrasting artists; this has produced a lively dynamic show. The gallery has been transformed for Spring and we look forward to welcoming art lovers from far and wide to Castle Douglas.
12th March - 4th May 2010
Walk down to the end of King Street, Castle Douglas and discover a shop front painted bright burgundy with the gold and blue sign above of the McGill Duncan Gallery. The long legged Gallery bird with a heart on its wing perches outside to show people the way in.
Look through the windows and catch a glimpse of a large light spacious room. Step inside the smaller front room, welcoming and warm with wooden panels, oak screens and stained glass.
Visitors can see paintings, pottery and glass arranged in an appealing and interesting way and our customers should find something new each time they return.
Once inside, there are four further exhibiting spaces to explore, each with a different character, but still offering a variety of fine art and individually crafted work by national and international makers.
Climb the twisting spiral staircase up to a quaint low ceiling attic room with a selection of further artwork. We hold a permanent stock of Galloway Paintings from the 19th to the early 20th Century. Please contact us if you are interested in viewing.
In fine weather it's possible to wander through the conservatory, used both as a store and for more informal display, and find a perfectly proportioned garden with a twisting path leading to a storybook lamp post in a quiet sheltered haven away from the bustle of the busy market town of Castle Douglas.
ll work for sale in the Gallery is original and chosen for its high quality and excellent craftsmanship. It is presented with understanding and knowledge, but in a relaxed informal way. With each exhibition carefully planned and lasting up to 6 weeks, the atmosphere and ambience of the Gallery can change dramatically.
