In Conversation, Talk

ScotlandsFest: Why the Arts Matter

Join poet Alan Riach, Professor of Scottish Literature at Glasgow University, in conversation with two of Scotland's finest contemporary artists, Alexander Moffat, RSA, and Ruth Nicol, RSW, as they discuss their latest exhibition, Landmarks: Border Voices, and address the urgent priority of the arts in a world so given to self-destruction. Value resides in the less familiar, the challenging and joyful. Politicians can't help much. Only in the arts, in poetry, paintings, music, can you find something to rely on, and say, 'Yes! That's what it's really like!'
