We’re delighted to celebrate the opening of Clachan Gallery, a wonderful new addition to our island community.
Owned by artist Ru Goodchild, the gallery showcases Ru’s work which reflects a deep connection to the landscapes that surround us, and we’re excited to see this new creative space open its doors.
Clachan Gallery joins the much-loved Raasay Gallery as part of Raasay’s local creators and makers trail, giving both visitors and locals another opportunity to discover the talent, creativity, and craftsmanship that flourish here on our island.
If you’re exploring Raasay, why not take some time to visit both galleries, meet the artists, and enjoy the rich creative spirit that makes our community so special?
The opening of the gallery is this Saturday 2-5pm. With 10% of sales going to the Raasay Shop Fund.
We’re also delighted that local artist Margaret McVicar is exhibiting in the gallery’s new community space.
This dedicated exhibition area will operate on a rolling six-week programme, creating opportunities for local artists and makers to showcase their work throughout the year. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate and support the wealth of creative talent within our island community, and we look forward to seeing a diverse range of exhibitions in the months ahead.
Clachan Gallery also has a dedicated art materials corner, stocked with a range of supplies including inks, watercolours, acrylic paints, oil pastels, sketchbooks, pencils, paper and more.
Whether you’re a seasoned artist, just starting out, or feeling inspired by Raasay’s beautiful landscapes, it’s a fantastic new resource for the island’s creative community.
The Gallery will be open Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Saturday - closed Sunday and Monday
10.00- 4.00pm - Until end of November.
Closed between December and end of March
