Travelling Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in a bus, will be parked in Greenock with its latest exhibition, Repair Café, a solo show by artist Helen McCrorie. The exhibition presents a film and installation deriving from work that she has made as part of the Remembering Together project, exploring positive and hopeful community projects that helped people through the pandemic and beyond.
The gallery is free to visit and everyone is very welcome. Travelling Gallery’s friendly team will be at the gallery to welcome visitors and chat about the exhibition. As well as visiting Greenock Travelling Gallery will be touring to other areas of Scotland with the exhibition.
