The bus’s autumn programme visited Callendar House and Helix Park, showcasing work from contemporary craft artists and makers. The art was inspired by digital technology and traditional handcraft and brought the two worlds together as artists used technology to widen their practices.

Travelling Gallery’s exhibitions are often experimental, inclusive, and diverse, and they aim to bring about healthy discussion and conversation while reflecting Scotland’s changing population.

The exhibition wheeled into Falkirk for two days, stopping at Callendar House and Helix Park. Inside the bus, guests could find several creative works crafted through digital technologies and traditional handcraft. (Michael Gillen).

Work from Jeni Allison, Naomi Mcintosh, Lynne MacLachlan, Liu Qiwei, Aymeric Renound, Soorin Shin, Sanne Visser, Silvia Weidenbach, and Sandra Wilson were all on show in the gallery.

The gallery was firing on all cylinders on both days it visited the area, giving locals a chance to swing by and appreciate some art.
