6-27 September
Reel Reflections: Going to the Pictures in Inverclyde is a community-led exhibition from Inverclyde Community Development Trust exploring the social history of cinema in the area - from lost picture houses to cherished memories of film going.
Featuring archive newspaper material, oral history recordings, film memorabilia, artwork, and creative responses from local volunteers and school pupils. The exhibition also includes a celebration of the work of Greenock-born screenwriter Alan Sharp.
At Beacon Arts Centre we host a constantly changing programme of inspiring and thought-provoking exhibitions in our light and airy upstairs gallery space. Guest Curator Fraser Taylor presents a year-round programme by local, national and international artists – some exclusive to the Beacon.
Fraser studied at Glasgow School of Art and the Royal College of Art. His internationally exhibited work includes large-scale sculptural installations, set design, print media, filmmaking and painting. From 2001 to 2017 he was a Visiting Artist and Adjunct Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and in 2017 was awarded an Honorary Professorship from Glasgow School of Art.
