Further efforts have been made to brighten up the centre of Aberdeen, with vibrant images transforming previously unremarkable doors of local businesses.
The Summer of Art project has placed a particular focus on adding splashes of colour to plain doorways at Langstane Place, Windmill Brae and around Aberdeen Market.
The venture, which was first staged last year, accompanies the success of the Nuart initiative in boosting footfall and making the city centre a more eye-catching place to visit.
To promote the area as a haven for arts and culture, a dozen doors have been adorned with works of art designed to make shoppers stop in their tracks.
The Painted Doors project has been engineered by Aberdeen Inspired, and will run until the end of this month.
The group’s chief executive, Adrian Watson, said: “This is about working in partnership with local artists to make art accessible to all, as well as being a fantastic way to utilise and brighten the city centre.
“Several new doors have already been painted and there are more in the pipeline to be completed before the end of August.”
Plans are also in motion to allow artists to use a wall near Aberdeen Market, at the East Green, as a canvas to create their own colourful murals.
The curator behind the Summer of Art programme, Mary Butterworth, said 2017 had been “an amazing year for art and culture in Aberdeen”.
She added: “It has been a joy to see it all so well received by the public – the creative community is buzzing.
“The Painted Doors project recognises our city’s artists and puts stunning artworks on the street for people to enjoy.
“Aberdeen’s own creativity, sometimes overlooked, has always been here but now we can see it every day in our doorways and on our streets.”
Last month, Aberdeen Inspired was crowned the best European Business Improvement District by the Association of German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, thanks to its efforts to bring more art to the city.
