PENICUIK EXHIBITIONS
Heaps of exhibitions have been organised in Penicuik since the town grew dramatically in the 1960s and 1970s. From its beginnings local volunteer charity Penicuik Community Arts Association has put together regular and varied displays of children’s art, paintings, sculpture, crafts, architecture, and local history. Four notable ones over the years were: Models and their Makers, the celebration of the buildings designed by F. T. Pilkington, the landmark historical exhibition Penicuik Looking Back and Memorable Clothes.
Starting more recently,
another volunteer charity Penicuik Community Development Trust has been
organising themed exhibitions almost weekly in the Cowan Institute,
