About Tore Art Gallery
Gallery Owners
We are Ian and Clare Blois (sometimes mis-spelt Claire Blois), and we are the owners of Tore Art Gallery.
Clare is an award-winning artist herself and her work is regularly exhibited in other Scottish galleries as well at Tore Art Gallery. Some of it can be seen on her page in the Browse Artists section on the main menu, and fuller details can be found on her dedicated website www.clareblois.co.uk
Our Gallery
Our huge church building gives us the space and opportunity to house both contemporary and more traditional styles of original art together under one roof. The space can be divided in various ways, providing the visitor with an exciting journey of discovery, variety and contrast. We defy anyone to leave without finding something that has interested them, and hopefully intrigued and inspired them too.
The artists we choose to exhibit all produce work that speaks for itself and communicates to the viewer directly. There is a wealth of creative talent in Scotland, and many of our artists are from the Highlands, some from further afield.
During the year there are several exhibitions of featured artists, or themed exhibitions, and there is always a changing mixed show. We also run other events at the Gallery too, such as concerts - the Bechstein grand piano is in great working order and we welcome players.
Please contact us if you would like to join our mailing list and be informed of Exhibition Openings and other events. You can subscribe to our (occasional) newsletter on the Contact Us page.
Our Customers
We extend a warm welcome to everyone from art-connoisseurs to passing holidaymakers with families (we have toys, books and coffee!). Please come and browse. We are easy to find (see the Location page) and we have plenty of parking, and disabled access.
From April 8th 2011 we are open every day except Tuesdays and Sundays. From June to August we are also open on Sunday afternoons, likewise in December on the run-up to Christmas. We are normally closed between New Year and Easter.
