Aberdona is a workshop and gallery facility in a setting that inspires a range of artistic collaborations.
A broad range of work from various projects organised by Clackmannanshire Council's Cultural and Community Service throughout the county will be on view to complement the main exhibition and illustrate the county's growing national reputation in the arts.
The gallery is signposted from either Forestmill or the Coalsnaughton-Dollar road.
Current Exhibitions and Workshops are also posted in our Events Diary.
