DESCRIPTION
The Corstorphine Art Group celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2012. The club was the inspiration of Miss Belle Kilgour, a local professional artist who graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1924. She became a Professional Member of the Scottish Society of Watercolourists and a professional member of Paisley Art Institution. She exhibited in The Royal Society of Artists, later at the Scottish Society of Artists and the Royal Glasgow Institute. She was the invited “Carver”of the George Jameson Memorial Plaque in 1946. Much of her art work is in private collections in Britain and the United States of America.
Belle died in 1982 and bequeathed monies to be used by C.A.G. each year to meet the fee of hiring the halls of St. Ninian’s Church for the Exhibition. The funds are held by Corstorphine Trust, they themselves also being benefactors in her Will along with St Ninian’s Church Congregation.
Annual Exhibition
The Annual Exhibition is a well established community event in the Summer calendar of Corstorphine, and over the past 30 years, hundreds of people have experienced the pleasure of exhibiting and selling their paintings at our exhibitions in St. Ninian’s Church Hall.
Monthly Meetings
We meet monthly from October to May and have Professional Demonstrations and Assessments of members' artwork.
