The 72nd exhibition and sale will take place from 2 to 4 August 2025 at the Victoria Halls, Helensburgh.

Art enthusiasts from Helensburgh, Lomond and beyond are warmly invited to explore a vibrant showcase of creativity featuring approximately 200 original works in oil, acrylic and watercolour. A selection of crafts and jewellery created by the Club’s talented members will also be available for purchase.

The exhibition will be officially opened at a private preview evening on Friday 1 August by Kirstine MacRae, a partner in BTO’s Family Law team, who has served clients in the Helensburgh area for more than 30 years.

Iain MacLaren, president of Helensburgh Art Club, said: “We are very grateful for BTO’s continued support which plays a vital role in the running of our annual exhibition and our Spring and Autumn one-day sales. Their sponsorship also helps us make ongoing improvements to our display equipment and lighting.

“The Annual Exhibition has built a strong reputation for presenting a diverse range of high-quality artwork, from both amateur and professional artists, and we are proud to share the creative achievements of our members with the wider community.”

New for 2025, the Club has introduced a Young Artist Award, inviting senior pupils from Lomond School and Hermitage Academy to submit their work. Winning entries will be proudly displayed during the exhibition. The prestigious Mary Batchelor Award for the best seascape will also be judged during the event.

Grant Hunter, BTO’s managing partner, commented: “We’re delighted to support this fantastic exhibition once again. It’s a highlight of the summer in Helensburgh and a great opportunity to celebrate the depth of artistic talent in the area.The event always offers a welcoming and lively atmosphere, and I’m confident that visitors will find something that resonates with their taste.”
