1 ART AND ARCHITECTURE
Aberdeen Art Gallery is hosting the eighth biennial Jerwood Art Fund Makers Open which showcases the most exciting new work by early-career artists and makers in the UK. The gallery is a lead partner in the project resulting in five new commissions across a broad range of disciplines.
The gallery itself is a work of art – named Scotland’s best building in 2021. Opened in 1885 and designed by Alexander Marshall Mackenzie, the Neoclassical venue was redeveloped between 2015 and 2019 to create more exhibition space and improved facilities.
