The current display showcases the residency from 2017 and 2018 in Ann Lanntair. It was a feast for the eyes. Each artist so completely different. We have visited twice and enjoyed each visit immensely, seeing something different each time. See for yourselves...
This next piece I must have taken 20 photos and didn't capture its beauty. The embroidery on Harris Tweed was stunning and must have taken hours. It was an inspirational piece that I loved.
In addition to this wonderful display there is also a Hebrides international Film Festival going on which is screening current global cinema on the theme of small islands rural communities and the environment. There is also an annual beach clean.
Some of the short film screenings, lectures, workshops and environmental promotions are free so no one is excluded. I think that is quite amazing.
Thank you for all your comments and concern. The storm whilst damaging was not as bad as anticipated so we enjoyed our time in our little cottage together, making some very tentative plans for future travel. The mainland didn't fair as well so my heart goes out to all those affected.
See you soon.
You have the most amazing things to see and do there. Glad you are safe from the storm.
ReplyDeleteI am also surprised that you have so many possibilities to see nice things on your little island ! Good that the storm was not so strong, we are sitting (not dancing) in the rain today ! First rain since weeks !
ReplyDeleteThere’s quite a lovely bit of culture going on in your corner...far more than in mine. Glad that the storm was not as bad as expected. Now I must look up what happened to the mainland.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to know that you are safe, and I really enjoyed seeing the exhibits you showed here! Thanks for sharing, Lorraine. Blessings on your travel plans. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful and amazing art work. I really love the floral paintings.
ReplyDeleteThere is another storm coming in apparently so stay safe.

I should think I would have lingered longest admiring the stunning embroidery on Harris Tweed! I am so enjoying following along with you on this journey. Life in the cottage does seem quite cozy even when the winds blow and the rain beats against the windows.
ReplyDeleteStunning art work. Great to be part of such a wonderful community. The storms continue....
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear that you are OK. I’ve been praying for you both. Thank you for the photos of the beautiful artwork. It amazes me how much you have going on for such a small island. So many cultural events. It’s wonderful! I hope you have a lovely weekend my friend. Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are all OK. It has been wild here but probably not half of what you get. The artwork is amazing, such a variety. I thought you might jump on the Harris Tweed post I have just posted! Chantal said it is such a warm coat and she could wear a jumper underneath. I was really pleased I took the time to do it. Jo x
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful work, I love that title. Glad the storm has passed, it's been quite windy here today but the sun's out now.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear you all are okay on your island. The weather has been so scary in many parts of our world. The exhibit looks so lovely. The Harris Tweed piece has my interest. I'm impressed that an island so small has so much interesting culture featured. ♥
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all the lovely photos but my favourite has to be the embroidery on the Harris Tweed. I can't imagine all the work that went into it.
ReplyDeleteEverything is simply beautiful, my friend. You certainly have a lot of fascinating places to visit and I enjoy "visiting" them through your pictures.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
Beautiful pieces, thank you for sharing. I love the Harris Tweed embroidery.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting all your blog pals know that you made it safely through the storm. But I also knew that you were safely tucked in with full provisions due to your good pre-planning! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteOh.. and I forgot to say how fabulous it is you have so many artists producing such wonderful things there!
DeleteSo glad you were safe during the storm. The art works are wonderful and it's good to have so much on offer that is free to visit:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us know that you are safe and well. You certainly have interesting events going on that reflect the rich culture and environment of the Outer Hebrides. There are some talented artists showing their artwork in the exhibition.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful exhibit to visit and appreciate the talented artists. Thank God that you are safe from the storm. Have a great weekend!
