Kilcreggan's Porch Gallery will make its return this week after a sudden interruption last month.

Owner Fiona Holland tested positive for Covid just one week into the Spring Colours exhibition's run.

The gallery's doors reopen today (Thursday, June 9) at Templeton Cottage, with the exhibition being displayed until Sunday June 19.

Fiona said: "I was absolutely devastated when I had to cancel the remainder of the Spring Colours show.

"But there was nothing else I could do. I felt terrible for all the artists who had put their trust in me, and all our lovely visitors, many of whom had arranged to come round.

"And I was so worried in case anyone had contracted it from visiting us.

“It was just so disappointing. But I decided to continue the run and bring the gallery back as soon as I was able."

The Spring into Summer show will be open on the following dates: June 9 and 10 (2pm-7:30pm), June 11 (6:30pm-9pm), June 12 (1pm-5:30pm), June 14-16 (1pm-4:30pm), June 17-19 (12pm-5:30pm).

The gallery has already raised £200 for the RNLI and two charities supporting Ukrainian refugees through the auction of a painting by Fiona Kilgore, with further fundraising efforts lined up.

Fiona added: “I’ve had great support from my amazing artists, all of whom are returning for our Spring into Summer show.

“And a number of them have given me new works, which allows me to refresh the displays and is rather exciting.

"These include gallery favourites like Joyce Borland from Cardross, and Helensburgh’s Mary McDonald and Maeve Dixon.

“So there are plenty of new items to see - I just hope that our lovely customers will return to see us and that new visitors will pop in for the first time to support the artists, makers and gallery.”
