Perthshire Visual Arts Forum (PVAF) was established in 2005 as an artist led group that stimulates and networks local career oriented artists with other national and international artists providing inspiration, information and opportunities.
Polarcap was founded by artists Graeme Todd and Liz Adamson in 2007 to bring high quality contemporary art to as wide an audience as possible with particular concerns for venues out with the city environs, representing emerging, local, national and international artists. Polarcap enables new connections and contexts for artists working in different media and at different stages of their careers, whilst providing a platform for artists’ discussion and creative exchange.
Scene Without Scene is selected by Liz Adamson as the first in a two-part series of PVAF exhibitions at Threshold artspace. Produced by the artists and Horsecross for Threshold artspace in partnership with Perthshire Visual Arts Forum and Polarcap.
