Greenock Art Club has opened its winter exhibition at Stables Studios in Gourock, showcasing over 100 artworks from around 50 members. The exhibition, which opened the previous weekend, continues on Saturday, November 29 and Sunday, November 30, featuring paintings, handmade crafts, jewelry, and Christmas decorations available for purchase. Featured artists include Lana Zukevych, a 22-year-old Ukrainian member who joined earlier this year, alongside club secretary Arlene O'Donnell and trustee Catherine Soulier.
The exhibition matters because it represents a longstanding community tradition that provides local artists a platform to display and sell their work during the holiday season, while also promoting traditional art practices in an increasingly digital age. The club's outreach, including classes led by Gillian Park and life drawing sessions, encourages new members to take up art as a hobby in 2026, supporting grassroots visual arts engagement in Inverclyde.
