Edinburgh gallery shows art by local school children in competition
An independent Edinburgh art gallery is to exhibit work from some of the city's youngest artists, showcasing the entries from a dog-themed drawing and painting competition. Morningside Gallery launched the children's competition to accompany Woof! The Dog Show which runs in the gallery until 8th June and includes new paintings from over twenty contemporary Scottish artists. All of the artworks feature favourite four-legged friends and continue an age-old tradition of artists drawing inspiration from their canine companions. The competition, judged by artist and author Catherine Rayner, is for children aged between 4 and 12 years old. The gallery has received almost 700 entries, demonstrating the creativity and imagination of Edinburgh school children. Entries were received from schools across the city, including Sciennes Primary School which submitted artworks from children in every class at the school. The winning artworks from each age category will be hung in the gallery over the weekend of the 31st May/1st June, alongside a display of the runner up entries, and a selection of favourites from gallery staff. All entries will appear in a special competition book which can either be purchased or viewed digitally from the 31st May. Sharon McGhee, Head Teacher, Sciennes Primary School said:'Sciennes Primary School was absolutely delighted to participate in the WOOF! Drawing competition. Our children explored the theme of dogs in art, were inspired by some of the first famous dog painters and used a range of media to create their own unique artwork. In fact, our children think their creations deserve a round of a-paws!' Ben (age 10), one of the young artists who has entered the competition, said: 'It was a joyous experience. It let us really show our personalities through dog art.' Catherine Rayner, illustrator, author and competition judge said: 'Seeing the children's entries for the dog exhibition is so heartwarming! This exhibition is especially exciting because it gives young people the opportunity to be part of a real gallery show – such a wonderful and confidence-building experience. It's an absolute honour to have my own work hanging in the beautiful Morningside Gallery alongside these bright young talents – our future artists, authors, and illustrators.' Based at Church Hill in Morningside, the gallery will display a selection of the children's drawings and paintings alongside more than 50 new paintings in the main exhibition, which can also be viewed online and toured as a virtual exhibition for anyone who can't make it to Edinburgh. The exhibition will run in the gallery until Sunday 8th June, and is open to the public. The gallery will hold a drinks reception on Sunday 1st June 2-4 pm – all are welcome, and especially the children, parents and teachers who have been involved in the competition. For more details, contact the gallery via All of the entries can be viewed in this catalogue published in print and online. Like this: Like Related

Rapper Betty Boo says she did not want to ‘fade away' in her 50s, ahead of tour
The Scottish- Malaysian singer-songwriter, Alison Clarkson, 55, is best known for her 1990s hit single, Doin' The Do and her debut album Boomania. Speaking to The Times, she said she did not think she would make it to 50, after losing her parents when she was young. Betty Boo and Alex James perform (as Wigwam) at the Art Plus Music Party 2006 at the Whitechapel Art Gallery (Jane Mingay/PA) She is going on tour to celebrate 35 years since her hit single Doin' The Do was first released. Clarkson added: 'When I got there I felt the way so many women do at that age, that I didn't want to just fade away, to settle and not be seen. 'The question was, what would Betty Boo say aged 50? Would she still be feisty? In fact, as soon as I started writing for me, I could channel my teenage self. 'It's crazy that I'm about to do my first tour at 55, but why not? I love a challenge and I love that I still don't fit in anywhere. 'You get 90s tours now and it's all Britpop. The 80s tours are electro acts like the Human League. 'I'm from this exciting time in between that changed the future of pop. No-one's ever been able to put me in a box. I wouldn't have it any other way.' Clarkson's sharp rise to fame in the 90s descended just as quickly with the release of her second album in 1992, titled GRRR! failing to find the same success that Boomania had. She was was also dealing with a lot of grief at the time, after losing her father in the 80s and caring for her terminally ill mother at the height of her career. She also cared for her nanny. She said: 'I never thought I'd make it to 50 because neither of my parents did. 'That's one of the reasons I didn't have children. I didn't want anyone to go through what I had. 'My priorities completely changed. 'Without sounding too deep, part of me died. I didn't feel like a pop star. I didn't have the headspace for it while dealing with so much grief.' The singer is also behind the hit songs Hey DJ – I Can't Dance To That Music You're Playing with the Beatmasters, and Where Are You Baby? Since the 90s she has released two more albums, Boomerang which came out in 2022 and Rip Up The Rulebook which was released last year. She took home the Best British Newcomer at the Brit Awards in 1991. Betty Boo Boomania 35 tour starts on June 5, with shows in Edinburgh, Cambridge and Southampton.
