Nicola Atkinson Artist & Curator Beautiful Materials
BM PRESS RELEASE
BM MODEL GALLERY - Starting 1st June 2026
Curated by the artist Nicola Atkinson
It seems that there are not enough formal places for artists to exhibit artworks in Scotland.
I wonder if one of the solutions is to have a MODEL GALLERY. Where you can imagine you are a giant within the walls.
An opportunity came about through my solo show in Linlithgow last year where I created a model of the Burgh Halls Gallery.
It has now been in the Beautiful Materials Gallery in Newton Means and had four exhibitions with in it.
