Art gallery in former church near Inverness set to close

An art gallery in an old church building near Inverness is set to close down at the end of the month.

Inchmore Gallery is well known for exhibiting original work of respected local artists, new graduates, emerging artists and nationally recognised names over the last decade.

It is understood gallery director Jane Owen Inglis will now turn her hand to jewellery-making.

She also stated in a post on the gallery’s social media page that she had been “overwhelmed” with the support she’s had from artists and members of the public following the decision.

A new message published on the website reads: “Closing. Inchmore Gallery will close its doors to the public on Saturday 29th July, 2017.

“It has been an extraordinary seven years and has been an absolute honour and pleasure to meet and serve all those who have entered these doors, be they artists or visitors, both physically and virtually, on just a single occasion or many throughout the years.

“I shall miss you all but it’s on to pastures new and, hopefully, a return to the making of my own jewellery.”

The gallery is housed in a former Free Church near Kirkhill, just a few miles west of Inverness, and was started up in 2007 before ownership was transferred to Jane, Barbara and Bill Inglis in 2010.

On its website, the gallery describes itself as “the most progressive and stimulating art gallery in the Highlands”.

It is unclear what will happen with Inchmore Church in the future following its closure.

Several members of the public left comments also left comment on social media giving their wishes to Ms Inglis.

One artist, Kevin Sean O’Connell, said: “Sad to see you go. But thanks for the sales and the chance to exhibit in one of the best galleries in the country, you will be missed. Good luck for the future and hope it involves less driving to work.”
