Hidden Heritage
Crail’s Art & Artists
3rd to 11th August 2024
Crail Museum took over Crail Town Hall for an exhibition from the 3rd-11th August entitled “Hidden Heritage – Crail’s Art & Artists”.
The exhibition included over 50 paintings that the Museum holds, which are not normally on display. It featured, along with Crail Artists, such well-known names as Joseph Milne, David Owen Martin and others from the Glasgow Boys. Paintings by Reginald Duncan were also featured, he was a very talented young artist who sadly died at the age of 24 after a long illness.
We hoped that this exhibition would help to raise funds to have the David Owen Martin painting of the Crail Harbour restored. This painting was originally won by a lady in a raffle for a one pound ticket. She gifted it to the museum with the provisory that it always remains in Crail.
We did raise £1050 through donations at the exhibition and we have raised funds from other sources, but we are still around £3000 short of the total needed to restore the painting.
To continue the fundraising effort we have started a Crowdfunding campaign on Crowdfunder:
