With the Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh Art Festival, Edinburgh International Book Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe all taking place on-line this year, Scotland’s capital city is unusually quiet this month. I thought I would try to do my bit in cheering people up by creating a digital ‘Festival of Modern Scottish Art’.
I am posting a work of modern Scottish art in a UK public collection each day of August on instagram and twitter. So far artists from James Bell Anderson, Herbert James Gunn and Keith Henderson to William Oliphant Hutchison, Dorothy Johnstone and Perpetua Pope have been featured.
I am selecting a mix of celebrated and less well-known artists, works and collections so I hope you will enjoy old favourites and make discoveries. Follow me on @alice.strang on instagram and @AliceStrang on twitter if this appeals!
