Forecourt’s summer exhibition is now in its final week. But there is still time to grab some great pieces.

It runs from 10am to 4.30pm daily until Saturday 7th August at the Underpass Gallery, Broad Street Aberdeen.

We have over a dozen artists showing both framed and unframed works in Watercolour, Oils, Acrylics, Pen and Ink and Mixed Media.

All works purchased can be uplifted immediately and these are replaced with fresh pieces, meaning that the exhibition is constantly refreshed.

If you are travelling by car please note that from 2nd August there are restrictions on the Broad Street / Gallowgate / Kirkgate junction.

Forecourt Fundraising Art Show at RGC
Pupils on the Charities Committee at Robert Gordon’s College have organised an Art Show this weekend, in aid of The ARCHIE Foundation. The show, entitled ‘Forecourt and Friends’ will feature the work of local artists who are members of Forecourt, as well as paintings by several prominent local professional artists, including Gordonian Eric Auld.

The event will be held in the MacRobert Hall at Gordon’s, Schoolhill, and will be launched with a private view evening on Friday 16 April for around 100 invited guests including the artists. It will then be open to the public, free of charge, from 10 – 5 on Saturday 17 April, and 10 – 4 on Sunday 18 April. Over 160 pieces of framed art from around 40 artists will be on show, ranging in price from £25 to £750.

Kenneth Watt (age 15), a member of the Charities Committee at RGC said: “After meeting Peter Hutchison and hearing about the work The ARCHIE Foundation does at the hospital we felt inspired to put on an event to help raise money. We thought of various options and decided to do something a bit different that would hopefully reach people outside the Gordon’s community. 20% of all sales will go to ARCHIE and we hope that this and catalogue sales will raise a good amount for the hospital.”

Mr Hugh Ouston, Head of College said: “It is great to see Gordon’s getting involved with such a worthy charity. Last year the College raised over £20,000 for various charities and this is all down to the commitment shown by the pupils on the Charities Committee and the generosity of all who attend the events and donate. I am sure that this will be another successful event.”

Mr Peter Hutchison, Community Fundraising Manager for The ARCHIE Foundation said: “I am delighted that the charity committee of Robert Gordon’s have taken on this event in aid of The ARCHIE Foundation. They are a very well organised group and I am sure the ‘Forecourt and Friends’ event will be a fantastic success”
