NO FEWER than 21 young artists were given a fantastic platform for their work at the recent Into the Light art exhibition.
The exhibition, held in the beautiful barn at Achnabreck Farmhouse, was organised and curated by 17-year-old Beth Qualter Buncall and Holly Smith, aged 16. Its intention was ‘to illuminate the fantastic artistic talent of the up-and-coming local young artists in our region’.
The exhibition was organised along professional guidelines, with a selection procedure which enabled artists under the age of 25 to show their work, many for the first time outside of school shows.
The young people experienced how an exhibition is run, from application, adhering to deadlines, providing biographies, to assisting with hanging and final details before opening.
