What You Need to Know
Travelling Gallery travels to all areas of Scotland. Generally, the only places we don’t visit are those where the bus can’t physically get to – but we try our very best to reach everyone. As part of our environmental policy we try to stay in one area for a few days at a time.
We currently have three tours a year. Each tour visits a cluster of areas in a similar geological location, for example north east Scotland, working with long term partners in each area to programme our visits to venues. We generally tour between March and November. If you would be interested in partnering with us to bring Travelling Gallery to your area please get in touch.
At the core of Travelling Gallery is creative learning and there are always 2 members of our friendly team onboard, to create a unique and welcoming platform to engage with contemporary art. Our creative learning programme includes gallery talks, learning resources, short films and exhibition booklets. We visit schools, libraries, community centres, festivals, prisons, local high streets, wherever you think is most suited to your audience.
What We Need – the Basics
- a parking space – minimum 49’ x 13’ (15m x 4m)
- a hard surface on even, level ground (ie not on a slope)
- access to TWO mains 13-amp plug points*
Once a day has been agreed, we work closely with venues to find the best place to park. We have a 100ft outdoor extension cables which can run from the bus to the mains sockets and cable covers to use when the cable crosses a pedestrian area.
*There is an on-board generator which can be used if mains power is not possible, however as part of our carbon management plan we try to use mains power wherever possible.
