Scottish Art Highlights: March 2026

It’s a quiet month for exhibition openings in Glasgow and Dundee, with Rae-Yen Song’s solo show at Tramway and We Contain Multitudes at Dundee Contemporary Arts to keep you entertained in the meantime. However, in Edinburgh, two intriguing exhibitions launch across the city.
Fruitmarket presents Where we meet land: environment and ecology in artists’ moving image (7-22 Mar). Nine artists, including Olivia Priya Foster and Hanna Tuulikki, showcase moving image works that are motivated by humans’ relationship with the environment. Where we meet land responds to growing concerns around the climate crisis, of manmade destruction, but also offers hopeful stories about our relationship with Earth.  

At Collective, up Calton Hill, Paloma Proudfoot has her first solo exhibition in Scotland. The Edinburgh College of Art graduate shows new site-specific sculpture and performance that further her explorations of the female voice and body. Proudfoot has made ceramic friezes that challenge anachronistic medical systems, engaging with the 19th-century concept of ‘hysteria’ to control and subdue women. Glass Delusion runs from 6 March until 24 May.

Further afield, in rural south-west Scotland, CAMPLE LINE opens Brazilian artist Anderson Borba’s exhibition on 21 March. Titled The Unearthed, the exhibition presents a series of totem sculptures carved out of wood, drawing on traditional craft practices of Brazil. The exhibition closes on 31 May.
