'Marking 140 years of Gray’s School of Art, this major exhibition reflects on the evolution of studio practice, teaching, and artistic relationships across generations.
Using the School’s 1966 relocation from Schoolhill to Garthdee as a lens, the exhibition reflects on Gray’s evolving identity, from its 19th-century roots in the Mechanics’ Institute, through post-war reform, to its role in today’s creative ecology.
Exploring shifts in studio practice, teaching and cultural production, the exhibition and associated programme of events offer a space for speculation and provocation, sparking new conversations about the role of art schools now and in the future.
Discover works by important artist-educators such as James Cowie, Henderson Blyth, Sylvia Wishart, Frances Walker, Joyce Cairns, Fred Stiven and Ainslie Yule, alongside contributions that correspond with these works by current staff and alumni including David Blyth, Andrew Cranston, Callum Innes and Tako Taal. Artworks and archival material are drawn from the collections of Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums, RGU Art & Heritage Collections, the Royal Scottish Academy and from private lenders.'

Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums is commissioning interactive automata donation boxes for our venues – beautiful, playful machines that spring to life when visitors give (cash or tap‑to‑give via GoodBox). We want you to create a piece that belongs in its space – reflecting the building, our collections, or a story from the city – and low enough for small visitors to see the action.
This opportunity celebrates our upcoming exhibition Making Waves – Amazing Machines with Cabaret Mechanical Theatre (May–Oct 2026).
📆 Deadline for proposals is 22 February 2026. To read the full brief, check out the 🔗 in bio

As the snowy conditions continue, the Art Gallery and the Maritime Museum will close today at 3pm to allow everyone to get home safely in daylight hours. We plan to reopen tomorrow at 10am, but please check our social media for updates before travelling.
While you stay cosy, take a moment to enjoy Afterglow, 1912 by Joseph Farquharson. Farquharson, whose family had lived on the Finzean estate on Deeside since the sixteenth century, was famed for his winter scenes. Painted in the Forest of Birse, Afterglow captures the pink glow of an evening sky and bluish shadows on snow-covered woodland. As twilight falls, rabbits venture out, unaware of the artist’s presence. 🐇
👉 Afterglow is currently on display in Gallery 9: Balmoral Phenomenon at Aberdeen Art Gallery.

Because while the internet is loud, Gray’s School of Art has quietly shaped this city for 140 years,long before hashtags, trends, and algorithms.
Today I got a first look at Never Make a Head Bigger Than a Melon, the new exhibition celebrating generations of Aberdeen artists… painters, sculptors, makers and storytellers who walked the studios at Gray’s and passed the baton from one era to the next.
You’ll find:
The statue of John Gray, a gift from a former student
Andrew Cranston’s work, flown in from New York
Exhibition leaflets printed on seed paper (yes really) that will be planted on campus after the show. 140 years of creativity, identity, and the fight to define what an art school is
Aberdeen’s artistry isn’t just online,it’s in the hands, hearts and histories of the people who’ve been creating long before the rest of us picked up a phone.
Gray’s School of Art: 140 Years, on now at Aberdeen Art Gallery.
Go see it. Celebrate it. Share it.
We’re getting ready to open Gray’s School of Art: 140 Years – Never Make a Head Bigger Than a Melon at Aberdeen Art Gallery! This special exhibition celebrates generations of creativity and bold ideas, tracing 140 years of creative exchange, teaching and transformation.
