Thig a chèilidh oirnn gus sùil a thoirt air an tàlant a th’ againn sna h-Eileanan!

Come and see the wealth of creative talent on offer in the Western Isles!

Tha Grinneas cho mhòr cho sean ris an Lanntair fhèin agus tha an taisbeanadh air a bhith na phàirt chudthromach dhen phrògram againn bho 1987. Tha na mìltean de phìosan-ealain agus an t-uabhas de luchd-ealain air a bhith rim faicinn thar nam bliadhnaichean agus ged is e taisbeanadh gu math dùbhlanach a th’ ann – gu teicniceach & a thaobh ùine – tha e daonnan tlachd-mhòr, taisbeanach agus na chomharradh air na tha tachairt sna h-Eileanan a thaobh ealain. Ann an iomadach dòigh tha e fada nas coltaiche ri “suidheachadh-ealain coimhearsnachd” na taisbeanadh àbhaisteach.

Am bliadhna tha Grinneas nas motha na bha e an-uiridh le dìreach rud beag barrachd air 400 pìos-ealain rim faicinn. Tha rudeigin ann dhan a h-uile aois le measgachadh mòr iongantach de dheilbh-pheanta, clò-mòr, obair-shnaighidh, deilbh-chamara, obair-chiùird agus tòrr mòr a bharrachd ’s iad uile air an dèanamh le luchd-ealain ionadail!

Mairidh Grinneas nan Eilean gus 26mh dhen Ògmhios

Grinneas nan Eilean is almost as old as An Lanntair itself and has been a fixture in our programme since 1987.   Over the years thousands of pieces have been displayed and a multitude of artists represented.  Although Grinneas always presents a challenge (technically & time wise) it is always rewarding, revealing and representative of what is happening in the Arts in the Islands.  In lots of ways it is perhaps much more of a community installation than an exhibition.

This year’s Grinneas is even bigger than the previous one with just over 400 pieces on display. There’s something for everyone with an amazing mix of paintings, prints, textiles, sculpture, photographs and crafts, all made by local artists!

Grinneas nan Eilean continues at An Lanntair until the 26th of June.
