The exhibition will be entitled ‘A Tale Of Tolbooth’, and the theme for the exhibition will be Tolbooth through the ages. Each piece chosen for the exhibition should take inspiration from Tolbooth’s varied past or exciting present, details on Tolbooth’s colourful history and its position as a modern day cultural hub can be downloaded as part of the application form, but further independent research is welcomed. The artwork should be creatively ambitious, and for those who wish to submit a New Media piece Tolbooth’s in-house technology will be available for exhibition purposes, including the use of projection and digital screens.
The works will be shown in Tolbooth Gallery, with an accompanying bespoke musical score, commissioned by Tolbooth for the exhibition. The musical score will include the use of traditional Scottish instruments, as well an electronic elements and will strive to represent Tolbooth’s past, and its current place in the community.
