Aberfeldy Gallery was established in 1982 by Dr Walter Yellowlees to promote
the paintings and craft works of local artists. Under the management of Roger
Sylvester the gallery developed quickly and was soon displaying work by
established artists from across Scotland. The location of the gallery in one of
the most beautiful areas of Scotland provided a regular stream of visitor who
fully appreciated the quality and variety of work on show.
In 1998 Roger and Merril Sylvester retired and the business was taken over by
Steven and Judy Proudfoot. As an artist Steven had been exhibiting in the
gallery for many years and was keen to become more involved in the art world.
The gallery has continued to develop under the new ownership and is now open all
year around. The work on display has become more contemporary to reflect the
interest of the owners and the art buying public and a regular programme of
exhibitions focuses on selected themes or individual artists.
2003 sees the opening of major extension to the gallery space with the addition
of a bright and spacious new room that will almost double the display space
available. The new room will be used to show larger contemporary works in
addition to a range of late 19th and early 20th century art by artists including
Gillies, MacTaggart, Cameron, Russel Flint Kay and other.
Aberfeldy enjoys a wonderful situation alongside the river Tay in the heart of glorious Perthshire countryside.
