What a fantastic weekend of art, history, architecture and community at the Kirk of St Nicholas 🎨🎭🏛️

Margaret, Emmajane and Rod celebrated its tenth exhibition - and its first in collaboration with Scot-Art - featuring work by more than 40 artists alongside three group collabs.

Across two days, the exhibition welcomed at least 700 visitors, with some returning for another look. It was wonderful to see the Kirk filled with so much creativity and to experience what can be achieved through collaboration.

A huge thank you to Experimental Use of Space, all the participating artists, everyone who helped bring the. Exhibition together and everyone who came along 💙

What an incredible Doors Open Day! 🏛️🎨✨

More than 1,000 people came through the doors of the Kirk on Saturday, and we loved welcoming every one of you.

Thank you for the fascinating conversations and for sharing your stories and memories of the Kirk and Aberdeen. It was also wonderful to meet so many new faces and welcome people experiencing the building for the very first time.

A special thank you to our brilliant volunteers - Alice, Irene and Kerry. We simply couldn’t have opened our doors without you!

Thank you, Aberdeen, for making the day so memorable💙

A heartfelt thank you to the fantastic volunteers at ‘Our Union Street’ and Derek Reynolds, for all the work they’ve done to clean up our Kirkyard. 🌿

Their hard work has made a real difference, helping to keep the grounds clean, tidy, and welcoming for everyone who visits. We are so grateful for their time and support.

Thank you for helping to care for this special place.🩵

Reflecting on the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention 2026 this week, what a success!! 🥳🥳

We want to extend a massive thank you to North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo) for allowing us to be a part of such a beautiful celebration of music, community and togetherness. It was amazing to see our Drum Aisle filled with enjoyment and enthusiasm.💃🏻

This festival wouldn’t have been a success without Laura and Kirsty behind the wheel, pouring their heart and soul into this weekend with a jam packed itinerary filled with talent from across the globe. 🌎

Additionally, we want to recognise all of the volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth running of this event, supporting all the acts, venues and guests and allowing everyone to immerse themselves into the music. Without volunteers, events like this would not happen- and we appreciate everyone working behind the scenes to create such a pleasant space for us all to enjoy.🎻

We also want to thank everyone who came out to one of our lunchtime events, who created the most electric and joyful atmosphere.🎉

These shows were an amazing opportunity to both showcase and discover talent from all across the world, including home grown Scottish talent, and we are so grateful to have been involved. 🩵
