Living Colour: Celebrating 200 Years of the Royal Scottish Academy

 

To mark the 200th anniversary of the Royal Scottish Academy, OnFife is proud to present a vibrant exhibition celebrating two centuries of remarkable Scottish artistry. The exhibition features carefully crafted still lifes, elegant portraits, beautiful landscapes and thought-provoking abstracts from 19th and 20th century Scottish art.

Experience the incredible range of RSA artists represented in this specially curated show from OnFife's collections, including Elizabeth Blackadder RSA, John Houston RSA, Frances Walker RSA, Anne Redpath RSA, William Gillies RSA, John Bellany RSA, Kate Downie RSA, William McTaggart RSA, the Scottish Colourists and the Glasgow Boys. Many of the extraordinary works on display are by artists who were born in Fife or who have strong, enduring links to the local area, making this a wonderful celebration for our community.

Whether your tastes are rooted in the traditional or lean toward the modern, there is something in Living Colour to inspire, delight, and surprise every visitor.

There will also be a programme of events for all ages running alongside the exhibition. Keep an eye on our events page for full details and booking information.

 
This exhibition will be at St Andrews Museum from 28 March - 6 September 2026
