In 2008 the Prestonpans Community Centre in Scotland was host to an exhibition entitled “Barga”. The ongoing twinning between the city of Barga and East Lothian in Scotland which had so far involved mainly politicians and schoolchildren (article here) took another step forward that year when a group of Scottish artists who after visting Barga then took back their work to Scotland – paintings, drawings, photographs and poetry, to share with the Scottish public.

This week the group from Prestonpans were back in Barga with their tutor Tom Ewing (site here) for the second edition of the Scottish Barga Painting School.
The group has now packed up their easels, brushes and canvases and returned to their native Scotland but before they left showed their weeks work at an exhibition held in Barga Vecchia at the Conservatory. Later the same day they were all present in the Palazzo Pancrazi for a presentation of a painting of Barga to the mayor Marco Bonini by their tutor, Tom Ewing.
