Hulabhaig is pleased to show work from artists across the globe in this first (now online) Uig summer art exhibition.

A Work in Progress
Contemporary Art at Baile na Cille.
Andrea Ingram : Geoff Stear : Stephan-Maria Aust : Andy Laffan
17th December to January 31st 2020.
The title 'A Work in Progress' alludes to current activity at the church in Uig. Since its sale by the Church of Scotland in 2010, its future has been uncertain. Now in collaboration with owners Brian and Miranda Gayton, Hulabhaig are delighted to be able to explore its potential as an art gallery. This first exhibition brings together a collection of work by contemporary artists across the Isles of Lewis and Harris and includes photography, painting and sculpture.

Cloud Exhibitions
Curated by Hulabhaig.
In 2018, Hulabhaig started experimenting with producing 'Cloud Exhibitions' as a method of curating online solo and group shows of work from island based artists. Back then everything was 'virtual' and now we have a wonderful empty church (Baile-na-Cille) to work with.
The 'Cloud Exhibitions' will continue and we will use them to document the artwork we show at Baile-na-Cille and reach out to our growing global audience.
Our previous online shows are currently being converted and reformatted to suit our new website. When they are ready we will provide the links on this page.
