A COMMUNITY art project celebrated its success at nurturing local talent by holding an exhibition.

Rig Arts, which aims to bring the community and art closer together, used its Tobacco Warehouse base as a space to let creativity run wild.

The showcase featured work by local amateur artists Doris Walker and Jimmy McKellar alongside offerings from the likes of textile artist Susan McInnes.

Rig Arts project manager Lauren Grech said: "It has been a very popular exhibition with some great pieces of work.

"We have had some great contributions." The showcase opened as part of the hugely successful Galoshans festival which Rig Arts organised this year for the first time.

The art charity also has a community flat in Broomhill running workshops on recycling and upcycling.

Now they are being commissioned to run workshops further afield.

From their base in the historic Tobacco Warehouse they are also running various exhibitions.

The lanadmark building recently featured in the first episode of David Hayman's documentary Slavery: Scotland's Hidden Shame, taking a closer look at the country's involvement in the transatlantic trade.

Rig Arts works with local communities and are running workshops like the Plastic Weaving and Melting Workshop open to Broomhill residents in their art flat every Sunday up until November 25.
