The Forecourt Art Group has operated for over 50 years and locals may be familiar with the open air exhibitions held on Broad Street each summer.

Aberdeen City Council came to the rescue when the Art Group had to move from Langstane Kirk (now the Soul Bar) and renovated the walkway under St. Nicholas House into the Underpass Outdoor Gallery.

Next summer will be the last Underpass Exhibition due to relocation and renovation of the new council headquarters.

The group are now be looking for a suitable City Centre location to carry on the tradition in 2011.

The search will begin as early as February 2010, and the group would very much welcome suggestions and offers put forward by the local community and enterprise.

The group is a not for profit organization, bringing affordable, accessible art to the public, so expensive retail outlets and lets are not an option- however all reasonable offers will be explored.
