Pittencrieff Park Peacock Sanctuary

Posted on July 8, 2020 by Website Administrator

Dorothy Amos has been involved in the refurbishment of the aviary at the Peacock Sanctuary in Pittencrieff Park. Part of this refurbishment includes placement of a peacock sculpture along the main wall accompanied by four large local interest canvasses. Since last summer, Dorothy has been working on these canvasses which are now complete. They feature the Dunfermline Coat of Arms (Crest) and St Margaret. An image inspired by the stained glass window in St Margaret’s Chapel, Edinburgh Castle, King Robert the Bruce and an assortment of animals and birds frequently found in the park (known locally as “The Glen”).

Along with Dorothy, other members of Dunfermline Art Club contributed to the wildlife canvas (known as the Wee Beasties). Names of those club members who contributed will be shown when it is hung in the Aviary

Kingsgate Gallery – Temporary Closure

Posted on March 14, 2020 by Website Administrator

Bearing in mind current concerns over Coronavirus, it is with regret that our Kingsgate Shopping Centre Gallery will close for a spell after after today’s opening (14th March).
We take this action to reduce avoidable risk for both our members, who to a large extent fall into the section of the community identified as susceptible, and our art loving public.

Woodmill High School Fundraising Event -26th March

Posted on March 4, 2020 by Website Administrator
Following the fire at Woodmill High School last summer many of the members asked if there would be a Club response to help the School.
Following discussion with representatives from the school, it was decided that we could help by contributing art works to their exhibition and silent auction sale event on the evening of Thursday 26th March to which all members are cordially invited to attend.
Members are invited to contribute saleable works for inclusion in their exhibition. If therefore, you have any unsold works which you would want to contribute in support of the Schools fund raising event, they would be most gratefully received.
The proceeds of the sale will go to replace Art Department resources lost or damaged in the fire.
Please bring any contributions to either the Gallery in the Kingsgate Centre by 19 March or to the Studio at Townhill by 21 March. Either framed or mounted paintings and prints will be acceptable.
Please wrap your work to protect it, label it with artist and medium info.
The exhibition will be at the School from 17:00 until 18:30 Thursday 26 March.
