Contemporary Growth: Artistic Dialogues with Eileen Scott

Venue: The Station

News Editor

Art, Talks & Workshops, February

1624

An exhibition of artworks by SCAFFOLD artists responding to Eileen Scott’s The Corner of the Garden, showcasing diverse contemporary interpretations alongside prints of the original painting.

This exhibition will showcase a curated collection of thirty artworks created individually by the artists of SCAFFOLD, an established collective of emerging contemporary artists. Each artist will respond creatively to The Corner of the Garden, a painting by Eileen Scott from SCAF’s permanent collection. This seminal work will serve as a visual brief, inspiring diverse artistic interpretations across multiple disciplines. The mission of the exhibition is a call and response, spanning decades.

The exhibited works will include paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs, each no larger than 50cm x 50cm. All artworks will be for sale, and as a group exhibition, the diverse range of pieces will offer visitors at The Station a variety of choices to engage with.

Friday 13th February 2026 for 12 Days

9am - 8pm (7pm Sundays)
