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,
