PENICUIK ARTS FESTIVAL NEWS

RICHARD DEMARCO

-decades ago chose the competition-winning entry (by a German visitor to Scotland) for the garden mural at Penicuik Arts Centre. The mural was replaced in 2007 and Richard came back to celebrate the opening of our Arts Festival. “Everyone is an artist, everyone can sing” Every role and function in life deserves to be celebrated to the full he said, and he used artworks around our community’s gallery one by one to illustrate this.

In 2007, Penicuik’s Turner Prize was awarded to Kenneth McQueenie: his work is in the window of Headcases, John Street. A record number of artworks was submitted to Penicuik Community Arts Association for the 2007 exhibition. The prize judge was Fiona Maher of Midlothian Artlink. The Turner Prize is donated by Andrew Turner, blacksmith, Penicuik. Previous prizewinners have been Jan Miller and Aine Divine.
