RSA Summerhall Exhibition Prize 2017 winner Aileen Keith presents her latest exhibition Head and Hand – whilst drawing has always been an important part of Aileen’s practice, here it takes central stage.
Historic Environment Scotland brings both photographer Anita Corbin’s Visible Girls – in which she captures pairs of young girls in the early 80s then tracks them down in the present to retake their portraits – and Invisible Spaces, in which young Scots aged 18-26 have created and curated a companion exhibition visiting similar themes.
Summerhall galleries are open Wednesday – Sunday between 11am and 6pm.
