The McManus Gallery has launched an exciting partnership with Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust. The project is part of a national ‘ Year of Scotland’s Stories ’ community project called ‘Scottish Creations’.

It has been inspired by the resilience of the UK’s non-professional art sector during the covid pandemic. And it sees a number amateur artists from across Dundee and Tayside to respond to the theme of storytelling through a range of artforms: visual art, sculpture, poetry, creative writing and photography.These creative works will form part of both travelling and digital exhibitions, celebrating and sharing the diversity and creativity of Scotland.The museum’s Creative Learning Team has been working as part of this with Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust’s ST/ART group participants to represent Dundee.The group of participants - who all have challenging long term health conditions - took creative inspiration from the museum’s current collections.Anna Robertson, Fine and Applied Art Manager at The McManus said: “This project illustrates just how important our role in supporting our communities to participate in creative activity is.DundeeLive brings you the latest headlines from Dundee and beyond.But did you know you all the ways you can stay informed with us?You can get our top stories sent straight to your inbox with our daily news updates.
