'Beacon Arts Centre's 2025 exhibition programme guarantees the presentation of exciting and diverse work by local, national and international artists. During the summer we will be having an Open Exhibition providing the opportunity for anyone living in Inverclyde to have their artwork exhibited.' - Fraser Taylor, Guest Curator
by Eve Campbell
On display 5 April - 10 May
Transit is a collection of screen-printed wall-hangings, prints and drawings inspired by the unique natural and historic environments of the Firth of Clyde. The exhibition takes us on a colourful passage through ancient Atlantic woodland and past small rocky islands, exploring the diverse coastal topography. Archaeological remains found on the Isle of Inchmarnock and the historic use of Clyde puffers in connecting local communities are reflected in bold, vibrant textiles and mixed media prints.
At Beacon Arts Centre we host a constantly changing programme of inspiring and thought-provoking exhibitions in our light and airy upstairs gallery space. Guest Curator Fraser Taylor presents a year-round programme by local, national and international artists – some exclusive to the Beacon.
Fraser studied at Glasgow School of Art and the Royal College of Art. His internationally exhibited work includes large-scale sculptural installations, set design, print media, filmmaking and painting. From 2001 to 2017 he was a Visiting Artist and Adjunct Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and in 2017 was awarded an Honorary Professorship from Glasgow School of Art.
