On Saturday 17th June our three winning artists and their families, accompanied by Ms McDonald and Mr Teiger, headed to Edinburgh for the award ceremony of the Tesco Bank-sponsored National Galleries of Scotland Art Competition for Schools 2017. Callum and Cameron of Senior Two and Oliver of Transitus got a taste of fame with photographs galore being taken, both at the ceremony itself and afterwards, when the official photographers photographed each winning pupil beside their work. Oliver also had an additional surprise, when his artwork was announced as both the chosen cover for the 2018 competition calendar and as a postcard. Both will be sold in the gift shops of all four Scottish National Galleries! All the winning artworks will be on display at the following venues over the next year:
• The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern One): 10 June – 24 September 2017
• Eastwood Park Theatre and Gallery, Giffnock: 27 September 2017 – 14 January 2018
• Gracefield Arts Centre, Dumfries: 24 February – 7 April 2018
