Scotland Group: Tour of University of Stirling Art Collection

Join Icon Scotland Group for a guided tour of the University of Stirling’s fantastic art collection

Come and discover the art collection at the University of Stirling. This guided tour, led by Deputy Head of University Collections Emma McCombie, will introduce you to the university’s collection. First established in 1967, the University’s first Principal, Dr Tom Cottrell, believed their artworks should be accessible to all. The collection spans printed works collected in the early days of its development, to the present day focus on contemporary Scottish art. Artists represented include Eduardo Paolozzi, Wilhelmina Barns Graham and Barbara Hepworth.

Proceeds from this event will go towards Icon Scotland’s Accreditation grant fund.
