Kirkcudbright Harbour Cottage Gallery aims to ‘further the Arts in the widest meaning of the term’ by providing an exhibition space for local professional and amateur artists and by showing the work of artists from further afield. Each year between March and December the Gallery hosts a wide range of exhibitions catering for all tastes and ‘pockets’.
The ‘gallery-run’ Spring Exhibition feature mainly local professional and amateur artists by invitation. An annual ‘Open’ Exhibition, aimed at encouraging and supporting new and developing artists, takes place early Summer and is open to any artist over the age of 16 wherever they live.
The gallery is also available for private hire by artists and craftspeople which results in an eclectic variety of solo and group exhibitions featuring many different styles and media.
