Whats In A Frame Talk

Mark McCracken
Thursday 22 March 7pm
AAS Gallery, 39 Justice Street, Aberdeen
Tickets cost £5


Mark is an artist working at Peacocks Visual Arts as their chief framer. He will lead a discussion on types of framing and how to select the best solution for completing an art work. We hope that this discussion, prior to our major annual exhibition in May, will make us all consider the crucial part a frame plays in complementing an art piece. Feel free to bring along a piece you wish to to discuss, or a framed image that you feel works well for us all to consider.


Tickets cost £5 and are available by emailing info@aberdeenartistssociety.co.uk or by visiting the gallery on Saturday or Wednesday at 39 Justice Street... but you better be quick as tickets are limited and are going fast!
