Our vision

Peacock Visual Arts is the main contemporary visual arts organisation in Aberdeen and the North-east of Scotland and is supported by Aberdeen City Council and Creative Scotland.

We aim:

To play a leading role in nurturing a culture of creativity in Aberdeen and the North East of Scotland.

To be renowned internationally as a centre of excellence and innovation where artists and public engage to share and explore ideas and to make and present art in exciting, stimulating and challenging ways.

We passionately believe that art offers empowerment, increases understanding and improves communication. All our collaborative projects, residencies and learning opportunities are about increasing participation.

We organise an annual programme of national and international contemporary art exhibitions, as well as talks, critical debates and workshops.

We also provide the widest range of media openly available anywhere in Scotland. These facilities include the hire of video equipment and the use of our printmaking workshops and photography darkroom.

In our shop we have a wide range of artworks for sale by local, regional and international artists, many of which are editioned by Peacock printmakers. Our framing department offers a specialist, tailored public service of handcrafted, high quality frames.
