Through Line explores the work of nine artists, shining a light on how the simple line is used in contemporary art and craft practice in Scotland.

Comprising ceramics, drawing, jewellery, painting, printmaking, poetry and textiles, the exhibition examines the beauty of line – from the simplicity of a single stroke to intricate linear patterns – and the impact it can have on our visual experiences.

A range of events, including adult creative workshops, lectures and talks, tours and drop-in events will also be running in conjunction with the exhibition.

Adult tickets are £5.00; Concessions are £3.00. This includes joint entry to both Through Line and another City Art Centre exhibition, POP LIFE.
