October 3rd is a significant date in Sturt’s calendar, and to celebrate this anniversary year a new exhibition ‘Sturt – 80 Years in the Making’ will open.

Drawing on the treasures and archival imagery of the Sturt permanent collection, this important exhibition tells the stories of some of the world’s greatest makers who made the pilgrimage to the Highlands to live, work and generously share their practice and knowledge with others.

ARTSfile is proud to bring you this fascinating photographic document of Sturt over time – some of its people, its artists, output and facilities.

Be sure to see the Feature on Sturt Gallery & Studios, and visit the Gallery physically when we are given the all clear to get out and about again.
