Here are a series of portraits of the Young Curator’s bedrooms. It was inspired by Arbus’ Xmas Tree in a Living Room, Levittown, L. I., 1963, which is in the show at Kirkcaldy Galleries. Like Arbus’ image, we have a very personal insight into the domestic life of our wild Young Curators.

On Saturday Morwenna from Stills Gallery came to Kirkcaldy Galleries and ran a workshop for the Young Curators based on analogue camera techniques and Arbus' approach. The second phase will be at the end of April and we are looking forward to it!

we went through to Edinburgh to check out various exhibitions and to attend the Roy Lichtenstein  Artist Rooms opening at the Modern Art Gallery. It was a great day of art and a wet day of weather, we visited the Stills Gallery, the Fruitmarket and the Portrait Gallery.  We also were lucky to meet and speak with the owner of the Artist Rooms collection, Anthony d’Offay who shared with us his views on Arbus.
