Happy Easter!

Our “Best of Paisley” exhibition is open and free to view on the first floor of Paisley Central Library.  Please note the Library is closed on Easter Monday, 6 April. Please get in touch if you are interested in a print of any of the photographs you see. We also have high-quality cards featuring the Abbey and the Mill, available as a set or individually.

“Best of Paisley”

At Picturing Paisley, we are nearly ready for our “Best of Paisley” exhibition opening on Monday, 23 March in Paisley Central Library.  We have worked with Print Studio Scotland in the Sir James Clark Building to achieve the best possible print quality and look forward to showing them to you.

Photofence @ Barshaw Park

February is here, and as the afternoon light is extending later into the evening, our photofence exhibition is ready to view at the main entrance to Barshaw Park.  It features statues around Paisley, and after your visit, you may want to wander our town and see the real thing firsthand.  The Art Deco Russell Institute is always worth a closer look, and the statue of Burns in Fountain Gardens is thought to be one of the best representations of our national bard. With an attitude of gratitude, we are grateful to Michael Fowles and the Land Services Team at Renfrewshire Council for providing us with this space to illustrate some of the great things about Paisley, and thank you too for taking the time to look at our small exhibition.

Enjoy!

What’s coming?

In Picturing Paisley, we are very busy stepping out into 2026.  We are currently preparing and selecting photographs for the February Photo Fence Exhibition at the main gate of Barshaw Park.  Head over to our events page to see dates and details of what is coming up.

Cards from Picturing Paisley

Are you ever lost for words?  Let our photograph cards do the hard work for you when you have a message to send.  We have chosen the best of our images taken on a visit to the wonderful Paisley Abbey for our new 2026 selection of cards.  Get in touch through the website or Instagram if you are interested: £2 per card or £10 for a set of 6.  You can also visit us at the Wynd Centre on 7 February, where we have a stall at the Feelgood February Fair.
