Scotland’s centre for photography

Stills opened in 1977 as Scotland’s first gallery specialising in contemporary photography.Since then, we have extended our facilities and now provide the best photographic darkrooms and digital production facilities in Scotland. Stills is a vibrant platform for creativity. Our integrated programmes illuminate the fascinating medium of photography, exploring everything from its technical and aesthetic developments through to the central role it plays in contemporary culture. Production and exchange form the heart of our activities as we work with artists and audiences to catalyse the creation of new ideas, artworks and dialogues. Supporting artists is a core part of what we do – from research and production through to display and critical consideration.
