Yesterday, we were pleased to welcome @johnswinney.bsky.social to the Pathfoot Building to see This Fragile Earth. It was great to have him recognise the importance of art in discussions of climate policy.

We've had some conservation work done on 2 Stainless Steel Forms with White by Justin Knowles. This sculpture was one of very early works purchased for the University in 1967, so it's great to get it back to looking it's best!

Pop by the Library on Thursday 13 February between 2pm-4pm to meet the creator of the Winston Smith Library of Truth and Victory, Hans K Clausen.

There are a whole host of complementary events for this fantastic exhibition, see linktr.ee/LibraryofTru... to find out more.

Great to have opened the Winston Smith Library of Victory and Truth in @stir.ac.uk library with @crispsurv.bsky.social, @unistirarchives.bsky.social and Hans K. Clausen!

Open to the public until the end of Feb!

Thanks to @museumsgalleriesscotland.org.uk for funding our store renovation that has helped us deliver this.

Happy 2025! We're looking forward to a jam-packed semester of exhibitions, workshops and performances here at the Art Collection. Sign up to our mailing list by 4pm today to hear about what's on this year.

For our 'Christmas Night Out' this year we visited our local stone carver Cameron Wallace to try our hand at his craft!

He makes it look a LOT easier than it is.
