Exhibitions @ An Lanntair

Grinneas Nan Eilean 2011

3rd December 2011 - 29th January 2012
Come and see the wealth of creative talent on offer in the Western Isles!

Grinneas nan Eilean is almost as old as An Lanntair itself and has been a fixture in our programme since 1987. Over the years thousands of pieces have been displayed and a multitude of artists represented.  Although Grinneas always presents a challenge (technically & time wise) it is always rewarding, revealing and representative of what is happening in the Arts in the Islands.  In lots of ways it is perhaps much more of a community installation than an exhibition.
