Flash of Inspiration: Fine Art Photography from the University of Dundee Museum Collections. While the camera has been used to record and document reality, it has also been used as a powerful creative tool by artists. This exhibition features portraits, collages, photo-etchings and other unusual forms of photography, all drawn from the University of Dundee Museum Collections. Artists include Albert Watson, Susan Hiller, Emma Hamilton and John Kirkwood.

An exhibition of colourful abstract photographs by Stan Farrow FRPS. 20th Century painters such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and even Joan Miro produced abstract work that depended heavily on colour, form and texture, but which had little recognisable subject matter. In many ways these photographs are similar in nature and appearance.This exhibition includes work that was included in Stans portfolio for his successful Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society. The rest of the images are taken from the same project.

Reflections from the Tay: Twentieth Century Scottish Art from the Permanent Collection.

Dundee's impressive collection of modern Scottish art was the subject of the hugely successful touring exhibition Consider the Lilies: Scottish Painting 1910-1980 curated by Alice Strang from the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.

Dina uses charcoals, oil paint and loves to paint on Jute . This is a special material for her, by painting on Jute she is trying to establish her new roots in Scotland. Painting on Jute allows her to be quick and expressive. Since starting painting her favourite subject is life drawing. For Dina, the human body is like an ocean - moving, braving, just fascinating. She paints people not only because she likes to know more about them, but also because by painting them she is discovering something new about myself.

James Guthrie Orchar was one of Dundee's most prominent businessmen. A successful inventor, engineer and entrepreneur, today he is remembered primarily as a patron of the arts. His art collection - which contains over 400 paintings, drawings and prints - survives intact and is regarded as one of the most important Victorian collections of Scottish art in the country.

Take a step back in time and delve into the glamour and the grit of the 1980s post punk music scene when the photography of Harry Papdopoulos goes on show in Dundee in May.

Photographs from around Scotland showing the diversity of Scottish landscapes and weather, hopefully allowing people to feel part of the scene they are viewing. Stevens seascapes come from many years of working at sea, and are an attempt at remaining close to nature while bobbing around in a large metal boat!

Steven was born and bred in Dundee, but has always enjoyed the freedom and solitude of the highlands of Scotland. Since he picked up his first camera, he has been trying to replicate the sense of space and atmosphere that the landscape/seascape has to offer.
