Join the Art Collection for our annual Open Day on Saturday 25 May. The Open Day is the highlight of our year and celebrates the creativity of our students and community and our theme of the year. Each year, the Art Collection explores a theme, this year’s theme has been 'Inspired! Campus and Collections as Inspiration'. We have investigated how the beautiful University of Stirling campus and our collections have inspired creative thought and action.
The galleries will be open from 12:00 to 16:00 - view our full programme of events below.
The Pathfoot Press will also be open between 12:00 and 14:00 which allows visitors to see a working 19th Century Columbian Press!
All events are free and open to the public, however, some of the workshops require a ticket, please check the individual event pages for more information.
The Pathfoot Building is fully accessible. If you have any queries about accessing this event, please email Emma.McCombie@stir.ac.uk. For travel information to the University, view our Getting to the campus page.
