* OPEN CALL FOR GRAY’S ALUMNI *
2025 marks the 140th anniversary of Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen. To mark this significant anniversary, Look Again is thrilled to announce an opportunity for local artists to create new works inspired by the legacies of four pioneering women artist-educators: Barbara Balmer, Joyce Cairns, Frances Walker and Sylvia Wishart.
The works will be shown as part of a special exhibition and associated programme opening at Aberdeen Art Gallery in November 2025.
The opportunity is open to women-identifying alumni of Gray’s who live and work in the AB postcode area.
There are 4 awards of £2,250 available. The works should:
🔸 Engage with Robert Gordon University’s Art & Heritage Collections and Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums collection, which is cared for on behalf of Aberdeen City Council.
🔸 Celebrate cross-generational dialogues in art.

Performing the Archive: #Correspondences – Women’s Voices is supported by Aberdeen City Council - Creative Funding and RGU Art & Heritage Collections.
