The exhibition runs from 22 August to 17 October 2026 at the Art Galleries.

The artists’ new work is connected to the ecology of specific places in northern Scotland and to a poetic, subjective view of the sea. It explores marine energy and coastal ecologies.

An artists’ talk is scheduled for Tuesday 29 September at 6pm in the Art Galleries. The event is supported as part of RSA200: Celebrating Together, a partnership project bringing together hundreds of artists, partners, galleries and institutions to mark the bicentenary of the Royal Scottish Academy.

The exhibition page identifies Anne Bevan’s ‘Light Erratic’, dated 2024, in the header image. Its framing includes a passage from Margaret Tait’s poem ‘Light’, describing waves through shimmer, oscillation and rhythmical movement.
