Pamela and Erlend Tait
Scottish artists Pamela and Erlend Tait collaborate in this joint exhibition, combining their individual practices, techniques and inspirations.
The title of the show - Hidden Harmonies - refers to strange coincidences experienced; to synchronicity and serendipity; to the hidden harmonies in our surroundings; and to time spent alone. There are more secret, hidden harmonies still to be revealed.

An Evening with Jessica Andrews
We absolutely loved Jessica Andrew's debut novel Saltwater and are thrilled that she'll be joining us to talk about her brand new one Milk Teeth on publication in July. It is the book for the Summer months - sticky, heady, lush, sexy ...
Milk Teeth is an intimate love story that explores how to take up space in the world, and why we deny ourselves good things.
