Marvel at a selection of prizewinning photographic portraits. Capturing and sharing emotional, dramatic, or everyday moments in life is the magic of the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize. A truly global affair, the prize celebrates the very best in contemporary photography, drawing on over 4,000 entries from 62 countries. This session will be a relaxed and informal guided tour with refreshments for anyone affected by dementia and their relatives, friends and supporters. Led by our team of friendly artists, it’s a chance to socialise, talk about artworks and enjoy art activities together.
Places are free, but limited so please book online. For more information or assistance please contact us on 0131 624 6410 or [email protected].
