Exhibition Preview Invite

Grief Talks – Caitlin Hanna

Articulate is delighted to host a thoughtful and sensitive exhibition by Perth-based artist, Caitlin Hanna in The Artium Gallery of their Glasgow city centre studio this autumn.

The preview will take place on Thursday 9 October between 5 and 6.30pm. Spaces are limited so please RSVP below.

 

Caitlin Hanna is a neurodivergent, queer artist based in Perth. She is a contemporary artist working across a variety of media. With a prime focus on the message or feeling at the centre of the artwork conveying more than the media itself, the media is selected based on what feels best for each intention. Caitlin’s creative work often features confessions, drawing direct from their own emotions and lived experiences.

The artist will also be giving a talk about their work during the exhibition period.  If you would like to attend please contact Articulate.

The Atrium Gallery, Articulate Cultural Trust, 125 St Vincent Street

The exhibition will run until 20th November.
