(a bit of a late post!!)
As part of the St Magnus Festival 40 years celebrations a project to exhibit
the artworks of 40 artists took place in venues across Stromness and Kirkwall .
A variety of works were on show and could be found in gallery spaces, shop windows
and festival locations as well as the Festival programme book.
Here are a few examples that could be seen!
Custom House, Kirkwall
The NC Portfolio students held their End of Year exhibition here
which was incorporated into the SMIF@40 Artworks Project.
With over 60 works on display here is just a few of them.....................

Saoirse
'Fluid Stone' ,dyed paper
Vaila Robertson
'Hole' , plaster
Alan Crofts
Artists from L-R were Norna Sinclair, Beccy May,
Joanna Buick, Sarah Wylie and Kirstin Wishart.
A few of the Kirkwall shop windows that took part...........
Sutherlands Pharmacy
Norna Sinclair
Age Concern
Ruth Tait & Jean Tulloch
Wendy Baker
Linen Cupboard
Martha Kirby
Northlight Gallery, Stromness
'Elemental Conversations' was an exhibition featuring two artists Katherine Diaper and Fiona Sanderson that recorded the Orkney shorelines in paint and metal.
Although these artists work in very different medium, the pieces sat beautifully together
that both enhanced and complimented one another.
Fiona Sanderson 'Pierced form with 3 inclusions' , aluminium&glass
Katherine Daiper 'Geo-Yesnaby' , acrylic
Fiona Sanderson 'Copper&glass form'
Norna Sinclair
With so many artists participating it was impossible to include them all but I hope that this will become a permanent feature of the St Magnus festival calendar!
