Find Each Other, the second in our midsummer exhibition series, held in June 2025 brought together pictures of people by three Scottish women artists: Ruby Pluhar, Gill Walton and Tilda Williams-Kelly.

Working in diverse media, and with strikingly different ideas, each of these artists centres the human figure. Ruby, Gill and Tilda do not work as a group and while each knew the curator Sarah Kudirka, they did not previously know each other. Indeed having never worked or showed together before they met for the first time at the opening of this exhibition. Making new artist connections is part of our ethos of lifting others up.

The title of the show was drawn from a Laurie Anderson song lyric, Sharkey’s Day:
at the beginning of the movie
they know they have to find each other
but they ride off in different directions
