Travelling Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in a bus, will be parked in Greenock with its latest exhibition In Another Realm, a group exhibition developed with Sculpture Placement Group including the work of Laura Aldridge, Nick Evans, Louise Gibson, Aimee Lax, Aniara Omann & Daisy Robertson.
In Another Realm takes inspiration from science fiction’s engagement with the environment and its value as a genre for thinking about environmental futures, seeing the planet as something that preceded our species and could conceivably continue without us. The selected works suggest an imaginary world and landscape, with its own unique history, geography, and possibilities. A world where traces of human existence can be found in the works on display, but where life also looks to be conceivably continuing without us.
Throughout 2025 Travelling Gallery has been touring exhibitions themed around The Environment & Climate Emergency. Working with Sculpture Placement Group (an organisation developing creative initiatives and tools for artists and the wider arts sector to think about and address the urgent challenges posed by the Climate Emergency) the exhibition highlights their Loan Scheme, one of SPG’s key initiatives that provides an opportunity to artists to extend the lifecycle of artworks often in long-term storage.
Travelling Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in a bus, it is a national service with the exceptional ability to reach communities and people across Scotland. We recognise that art can change lives and we create fair conditions and remove barriers to allow access and engagement to audiences in their own familiar surroundings. The gallery space offers an open and welcoming environment for people of all ages, background, and abilities to discover and enjoy contemporary art.
Over the past forty seven years, Travelling Gallery has brought innovative exhibitions to every part of Scotland reaching hundreds of thousands of visitors and school pupils. Travelling Gallery is a ‘not for profit’ organisation, receiving Multi Year Funding from Creative Scotland and supported by the City of Edinburgh Council.
