BEAULY GALLERY
We would like to extend a warm welcome to you from everyone here at Beauly Gallery. The gallery is located in the centre of the of the small and charming town of Beauly. We are just a short drive from Inverness, the Highland capital, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle.
During our annual Art Around the Firth event we are exhibiting a diverse selection of both local and national Scottish artists, titled 'A Tour of the Highlands' our exhibition features small square works, ideal for our traveling visitors to pop in a suitcase. We also offer a unique opportunity to engage with the artists themselves during our in-residence days between 13th - 22nd June, where you can get up close and personal with a handful of artists to view and experience how art is conceived and developed using varying techniques.
One of the major components of Art Around the Firth at Beauly Gallery this year will be the In Residency Days which will be on from June 13th until 21st. The local artists will usually be in attendance from 12-4pm.
