AN artist who battled back from alcoholism is bringing his new exhibition to the Beacon in Greenock.

Painter and sculptor Willie Sutherland is coming to Inverclyde with his Origins showcase next month.

It is one of the many events on a programme to celebrate the venue's 10th anniversary.

Guest curator Fraser Taylor said: “I am thrilled that we have an exciting and varied exhibition programme to celebrate the Beacon's 10th year.

“We have eight exhibitions scheduled including a summer open which invites anyone who lives in Inverclyde to submit a piece of work.

“Our programme is committed to being inclusive, showing work by local and national artists who have a range of experiences and skills."
