A truly fantastic gallery, I highly recommend a visit! Family ran by the hugely talented and lovely Butterworth family who are so very warm and welcoming from the outset. The place is an absolute treasure trove of stunningly beautiful art works and gifts, many depicting scenery that I have been lucky enough to grow up amongst, and in them have captured the breath-taking wild beauty, the colours, the 'feel' so wonderfully.

Lewis Grassic Gibbon Centre

A memorial to a world-reknowned author and the region's greatest writer.

Reviewed By Irmemac01

Warmly welcomed to this lovely little centre. Very interesting museum, and the friendly curator had lots of interesting information and anecdotes, as well as helpful suggestions of other things to do and see in the local area. The cafe was great, and the home baking was wonderful. Looking forward to visiting again when we are in the area.

Peacock Visual Arts

Since 1974, Peacock Visual Arts has supported thousands of artists in the production of artworks, ranging from prints to video works, photography, performance and site-specific public installations. At its core lies the idea of the multiple, work that can be reproduced in a variety of formats, analogue and digital, reconfiguring the relationship between the artist, the artwork and the audience, which can be outlined simply as – making, learning and showing. Our organisation is supported by Aberdeen City Council and Creative Scotland. Peacock’s role in the city of Aberdeen, through its printmaking department, digital studio and gallery/project space The W OR M has been to activate spaces where artists and the citizens, prompted by artworks, congregate around ideas and practices that interrupt everyday routines. Our making facilities include a digital fabrication studio, screen printing studio and relief printing studio.
