Inspired

As part of the Year of Homecoming 2009, in partnership with Culture Sport Glasgow, artruist organised "Inspired", a major exhibition celebrating the life and work of Robert Burns. "Inspired" was on display in the Old Reading Hall at The Mitchell Library, Glasgow. The exhibition featured around 50 contemporary works of art inspired by Burns’s life and works alongside a small selection of Burns related relics. Also, a limited edition print was created, incorporating the Inspired design, and there are still some available – the “Inspired Burns” edition. See also our Press coverage.

Brochure

"The Adapt NOW exhibition, sourced and curated by Sheilagh Tennant was one of the most successful contemporary shows ever held at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, Glasgow. Over a period of three weeks it attracted more than 50,000 visitors. Sales contributed to ADAPT funds and more importantly the exhibition helped to raise the profile of the Trust's work in improving access for disabled people to the arts." Stewart Coulter, Director, ADAPT Trust (former Deputy Director for Glasgow Museums and Art Galleries)
