Craigroyston Primary’s art exhibition opens in Stockbridge

Craigroyston Primary School’s ‘Leapers and Creepers’ art exhibition opened in the WASPS Gallery off Hamilton Place in Stockbridge yesterday. Celebrated local artist Joyce Gunn Cairns and local musician John Sampson (pictured below) opened the event and the quality of art on display is as high as ever.

Craigroyston Primary’s Helen Cameron was one of the main organisers of the event. She explained: “Our pupils’ annual Art Exhibition is always a popular event with parents and pupils. Everyone in the local community is invited along to see the displays of colourful and imaginative work – paintings, models, marbling, chalk, charcoal, inks, watercolours, prints, clay, drawing, felting, collage – an incredible array of media, styles and subjects.  This year Joyce Gunn Cairns MBE has generously arranged for us to use gallery space at the WASPS studios in Stockbridge and we are delighted to be able to showcase the children’s work there. It’s very exciting for the children to be exhibiting in a gallery area and to see their work in a different setting outwith the school”.

Craigroyston’s ‘Leapers and Creepers’ exhibition is open daily from 12 – 3pm until 1 April. Don’t miss it!
