You Choose: Favourites from the City Art Centre presents a selection of our most popular paintings as voted for by the public. The exhibition is the culmination of a project run between June and September 2014, which surveyed people on their favourite artworks from the City Art Centre’s collection. The project made use of the BBC Your Paintings website, a resource which enabled voters to view digital images of over 900 oil and acrylic paintings before selecting their personal favourites. The results of the survey are finally revealed in this exhibition.
The City Art Centre’s collection includes landscapes, portraits, still life studies and abstract images, from a range of different time periods. You Choose celebrates this rich and varied collection, displaying old favourites by renowned Scottish artists alongside lesser-known artistic gems. Selected by the public, this exhibition promises to have something for everyone.
