What’s on
SCAN members organise and promote a huge variety of contemporary art events both online and in venues across Scotland.
Ranging from things to see such as exhibitions and film screenings, to engaging skill-sharing activities like screenprinting sessions and ceramics classes, the breadth and depth of what’s on offer reflects SCAN members’ diverse backgrounds and the varied roles they have within Scotland’s visual arts community.
Whether you’re looking for events that will expand your knowledge of the contemporary art scene, challenge and inform your ideas, or simply entertain and inspire, SCAN’s What’s On section is a good place to start.
