Lockdown artist breaks out with first ever exhibition in Larbert

Gavin Hickford will be opening his first solo exhibition to the public at D2 The Creative Centre, in Lochlands Industrial Estate, Larbert next month.

The exhibition, entitled “I am because”, has the theme of identity and has been funded through a grant from Creative Scotland.

It will run from the May 6 to May 20 at D2 The Creative Centre.

Special opening events will take place on Friday, May 6 from 7pm to 10pm and Saturday, May 7, from 11am to 3pm.
