the 1970 Gallery...
is a small gallery and online store located in Lochbay, on the Waternish Peninsula, Isle of Skye.
Our aim is to curate a joyful and welcoming space with work inspired by land and sea from UK based artists, makers and writers that is rooted in place and home.
The common thread that weaves itself through the gallery is a deep connection and sense of belonging to the landscape and home whether it's through colour, texture, the inhabitants, words, history, tradition and culture.
We hope that when you visit our small gallery that you will be excited by what you see knowing that each and every piece has been made by an artist, craftsperson, writer and designer who has taken the leap of faith to earn their livelihood from creating work that speaks from their soul to yours. As William Morris once said "have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful"
If you are visiting the gallery please check our opening times.
