Opening event of Ron Sandford’s new exhibition draws a big crowd
We’re delighted to announce that Ron Sandford’s exhibition, Spirit of Places, is now on display in Da Gadderie. There was a real air of excitement at the opening event as guests queued up to see the much anticipated exhibition and purchase their favourite piece.








Bringing together over 60 original works, this exhibition reflects Sandford’s deep connection to place – drawing on his life in Shetland, time spent in China, and travels across Europe.

Da Gadderie has been transformed, each corner bringing new shifts in mood and place, offering viewers a journey from the quiet intimacy of Shetland peat banks to the vibrant towering skylines and energy of Hong Kong.

In Sandford’s own words, “The spirit of a place must be felt rather than seen.” His work moves effortlessly between the intimate and the monumental, reminding us that place is both where we stand, and how we make sense of the world around us.

All works are for sale through the Own Art scheme - meaning you can pay for your art through 10 interest-free monthly installments.
An exhibition catalogue is also available for purchase.
On display until Sunday 10th August
Come and take a closer look!
