Works on permanent display have been produced by some of the regions finest artists and makers, including Will Levi Marshall who has created a glass, ceramic and water feature in the Long Gallery and Linda Mallett herself who has worked with local school pupils to produce a ceramic panel at the entrance to the building. Additional works include David Gulland’s glass engraving, Silvy Weatherall’s Black Face Sheep sculpture made out of corrugated iron, and a spectacular landscape triptych by Dalry based photographer, Ted Leeming. A programme of regular, temporary exhibitions will also take place in the Pyramid Gallery. These will feature prominent artists from Dumfries and Galloway and beyond.
