The Beacon Gallery and Shop has opened at Signal Tower Museum. This new gallery and retail space is dedicated to celebrating and supporting local artists and makers.

The Beacon Gallery and Shop will present a regularly changing selection of high-quality, affordable artworks and handcrafted pieces, all created by artists and makers from across Angus and the surrounding area. From paintings and prints to jewellery, every item on display will be available to purchase at the time of visit, allowing visitors to take home a unique piece of local creativity.

Visitors to the Signal Tower Museum will now be able to discover original work inspired by the landscapes, heritage and character of the Angus coast, while directly supporting local talent.

By offering work for sale within the museum, we’re creating new opportunities for artists while giving visitors the chance to connect with, and invest in, creativity.”
