Vessels On Loan In a recent survey for museums, it said that a person spends on average 28 seconds looking at a piece of art. This exhibition offers the visitor an opportunity to have a little more time with an artwork, to understand how the relationship to it can grow or change, in the comfort of their own home. “As an artist I spend a lot of time living with my own work after I have made it. I hope that this will enhance the experiences of the Beautiful Materials exhibition, by connecting your home to the Linlithgow Burgh Halls Gallery Space” Nicola Atkinson. The residents of Linlithgow and the surrounding area can borrow one of the Beautiful Materials art pieces for the duration of the exhibition. 23 May - 18 June you can select the artwork, which is numbered in the scale model of the gallery, which is located in the Linlithgow Burgh Halls Gallery Space. It is open from 9 - 5pm. Book here either on Wednesday 2 July 7 - 9pm and or Wednesday 16 July 7 - 9pm to pick up the framed artwork from the artist at the Linlithgow Burgh Halls Gallery Space. The artwork is a choice of a vessel on velvet, in a 25cm x 25cm white box frame and can be hung or sit on a shelf. This is a chance to spend more time with the artwork in your own home. Return and drop off on 20 September 12 - 4pm to the artist at the Linlithgow Burgh Halls Gallery Space.
