THE PEARLS OF WISDOM Exhibition is a celebration of six older people and their contribution to North Edinburgh over decades of activity. This unique way of celebrating their lives is in the commissioning of sculptured heads by award winning artist Kevin Dagg.
We believe it is the first time that ‘ not so ordinary’ people have been recognised in the way that the great and the good have been in the past, with monuments and paintings around our towns and cities. The six individuals have made a major contribution to the lives of not only older but younger people too.
These ‘heads’ will be on display in various locations around the North Edinburgh community over the next six months.
The Minister for Older People and Equalities Christine McKelvie spoke at the event and joined in the celebration, which was also attended by Elizabeth Bryan from Age Scotland along with invited family and friends.
