Some things to do during the holidays...

I would love for more young people to visit some of the amazing art galleries and exhibition we have right on our doorstep!

If you're bored of being on holiday by now(and even if you're not!), here are some interesting galleries to visit.  Most are free and will certainly inspire your creative mind.  Don't think of art galleries as boring places for adults - they really are much more exciting and will force you to consider what art really is.

GOMA - Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow (lots of interesting permanent artwork as well as the Fiona Tan exhibition and Unsettled objects exhibition.)

Park Gallery, Falkirk (Current exhibition on Allan Davie showing)

Smith Gallery, Stirling (Some interesting photography on here at the moment)

National Galleries, Edinburgh (loads to see here)

Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh (contemporary art)

Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Glasgow (lots to inspire you here, you might like the David Shrigley installation)

Ok, thats all for now!
