Common Ground; The Living Landscape is an exhibition that brings together artists and makers whose work speaks to our deep, evolving relationship with Scotland’s natural environment.

Scotland’s land carries stories of belonging and separation, of heritage and transformation, of deep time and fragile change. Through its rivers and coastlines, forests and moors, people have shaped the land and, in turn, been shaped by it. These connections run deep, interwoven with memory, ritual, and identity.

For our first exhibition of 2026 we have brought together artists and makers whose work responds to these depictions of living landscapes, inviting audiences to consider how creativity can reconnect us to nature in an era of climate uncertainty and cultural shifts. The exhibition celebrates practices that are both grounded in materiality and attuned to spirit: works made from the land, about the land, and in dialogue with the land.
