SUMMARY:Exhibition - Gardens of East Lothian
DESCRIPTION:Photographic exhibition by Sheila Sim. \nOver the next few days we hope to bring some of this exhibition to you virtually\, please keep following our Facebook and Twitter feeds! \nEast Lothian has a long and proud heritage of gardening\, and has produced several horticultural pioneers. With its good climate and fertile soil\, the county has often been called ‘the garden of Scotland’. Featuring private and public gardens\, parks and designed landscapes from across the county\, this exhibition showcases East Lothian in all its horticultural glory. There is something here for everyone – from the historical to the highly contemporary\, from grand and stately to modest and cosy. \n \n  \n  \nAmisfield Walled Garden which lies on the outskirts of Haddington. It dates back to the late 18th century and is one of the largest walled gardens in Scotland. It originally belonged to the Earl of Wemyss but was sold to Haddington Town Council in 1969 and subsequently fell into neglect. In 2013 it became a community garden managed by the Amisfield Preservation Trust and a large band of volunteers\, who have recreated the original network of paths and are developing each sector of the garden with a different character. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \nThe garden at Broadwoodside\, near Gifford\, is planted in and around a farm steading rescued from dereliction. The writer Kenneth Cox describes it as “one of Scotland’s most exciting contemporary private gardens\, with excellent structure\, imaginative use of objects and some of the most eye-catching planting in Scotland”. Pictured here is the inner courtyard with aviary.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Faces of Dunbar
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition by local photographer\, Fraser Stewart. \nThis exhibition is a range of my photographic work of the many facets of Dunbar. It is a study of the diverse communities within a small coastal town. Dunbar is surrounded by beautiful nature and is a joy to explore and live in. Yet it is the people who provide the dynamic of the town\, creating employment\, starting up organisations and social groups. This exhibition captures all aspects of this unique community.

SUMMARY:The Unruly Mystic: John Muir
DESCRIPTION:Friends of John Muir’s Birthplace is proud to present the Dunbar premiere of a new feature documentary on John Muir – the Scottish-born pioneer of the modern nature conservation movement. Independent filmmaker Michael M. Conti will attend the screening at Our Lady Of The Waves R.C Church Hall for an audience Q&A about the man often hailed as the founder of the world’s first national park system. \nThis beautifully photographed film explores the remarkable life and influential works of a patron saint of environmental activism. Against a backdrop of some of North America’s most exquisite scenery\, the documentary considers the connection between nature and spirituality\, using the life and wisdom of John Muir – ecological preservationist and founder of Yosemite National Park – to explore how being outside in nature affects the lives of everyday people right now. \nJohn Muir played many roles in his life: mystic\, prophet\, author\, poet\, conservationist\, radical\, all of which helped him succeed in his role as an advocate for Nature. Muir’s writings have profoundly shaped the ways in which we understand our relationship with the natural world\, and his legacy is commemorated in the John Muir Way – a long-distance walking trail that stretches 134 miles across Scotland’s heartland\, running between Helensburgh in the west through Falkirk and Bo’ness to Dunbar on the east coast and Muir’s birthplace. \nDir. Michael M. Conti / US / 1h 10m + Q&A \nThe Unruly Mystic: John Muir (2018): Special Event\nSun 18 August 19:00\nTickets: £8 \nLimited tickets available at John Muir’s Birthplace\, call 01368 865899\, or at the door of Our Lady of The Waves R.C. Church prior to the screening.

SUMMARY:John Muir\, Writer
DESCRIPTION:In 2014 Dunbar-born John Muir\, botanist\, geologist\, explorer\, mountaineer and conservationist\, became the 38th Scot to be commemorated in Writers’ Court in Edinburgh. His flagstone carries the words: “I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness.” Muir was convinced that only then would folk protect the environment.\nMuir sought to persuade people through his writings – letters\, journals\, articles for newspapers and magazines\, and twelve books. The quill pen became his sword in the battle for conservation. Friends’ of John Muir’s Birthplace new exhibition\, ‘John Muir\, Writer’\, tells how it came about.

SUMMARY:John Muir in the French Pyrenees
DESCRIPTION:A powerpoint exhibition about John Muir and the origin of the first American National Parks in the French Pyrenees!\nThe panels of this exhibition were done last school year by nine sixteen-year-old pupils from Jean Dupuy High School in Tarbes with the help of a history and geography teacher and myself. Tarbes is situated in the south west of France\, very near to the Pyrenees National Park.\nI have been teaching English in this school for three years. Being a wild place lover\, I have come regularly to Scotland since I was a French assistant near Stirling twenty-nine years ago. The idea of an exhibition in the French Pyrenees National Park premises came from my belief that my pupils could be interested in John Muir’s biography and contribute to make his life and the story of the first national parks in the world known in the Pyrenees. It was a great opportunity for me to teach important parts of American History such as Native American culture\, colonization\, the myth of the Frontier… We also talked about the emergence of the first ecological movement in 19th century USA with the influence of artists and scientists on public opinion and on politicians\, which all led to the creation of the first national parks. John Muir Muir’s life and actions were thoroughly presented. I dealt with all these themes with some of my classes and nine pupils volunteered to do some panels. Adèle\, Adèle-Nadja\, Blandine\, Camille\, Corentin\, Elodie\, Estelle\, Hamidou\, Lila worked in their free time with our help. For John Muir’s biography\, we made use of some books and documents I got at JMB when I first went there nearly ten years ago.\nJMB website and Jo Moulin’s help were also very precious to achieve our work. We are also thankful to American National Parks staffs who sent to us very nice posters.\nThis exhibition was first displayed last May in Gavarnie Maison du Parc. Gavarnie is situated in the mountains near Tarbes and is also famous for its UNESCO site. Then\, last September\, we had the wonderful opportunity to have it displayed during the Europarc Conference in Aviemore.\nAt a time when environmental issues are in the frontlines again\, I think it is very important that young people know about John Muir. The pupils perceived him as an example of perseverance\, talent and resilience. Learning about his intense and fruitful life can encourage each of them to play their unique part and reminds us all that a single person can have a tremendous influence in the course of things. It is now a great honour for us to be given the opportunity to show you our work in his native home … Many thanks to JMB staff.\nDominique Marabèse

SUMMARY:'Silva' by Chris Thomas
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to present ‘Silva: a meditation on trees and woods in eleven photographs’ by photographer Chris Thomas. 20th February – 24th March. \nHumankind has had an intimate relationship with trees and woodland since the days of our earliest ancestors – on the one hand\, practical and prosaic\, on another\, a deeply-felt sense of their intrinsic value as living things\, expressed spiritually by some. The importance of trees and woodland as part of a sustainable\, richly-biodiverse and resilient future environments is well-recognised\, but our attachment goes beyond this: trees and woodland are just as important to us psychologically and physically\, simply by being.\n Arising from his own fascination with trees and woodlands\, Chris’s sequence of black and white film photographs seeks to invite visitors to the exhibition simply to reflect upon the ‘being’ of trees and woods: their ‘essence’ expressed in their architectures\, textures and forms\, the way they create light and shade and space\, how these phenomena change daily\, or through the seasons – and how we respond ourselves\, consciously or subliminally\, to our trees and woodlands.

SUMMARY:New Exhibition - 'Flora' by Cathy Bell
DESCRIPTION:Look out for our exciting first exhibition of 2019.  From 5 January until 16 February\, we are proud to host artist Cathy Bell’s solo show\, ‘flora’. \nIn her exhibition of artwork and photography Cathy Bell is concerned with capturing a personal connection with the natural world of “flora”. For paintings she has chosen to depict plants\, flowers and trees which mean something to her personally and also for their shape\, line and colour. She is not interested in rendering a realistic likeness\, however\, she does endeavour to capture an image which is true to the essence and spirit of the subject. Her photographs are similar in that they are not created with technical merit in mind. Rather\, they are derived from an instinctive connection with the subject\, some of the photographs are enhanced to heighten the mood\, thereby\, altering the aesthetic. In all of the work on display she tries to follow John Muir’s advice to “keep close to nature’s heart”.
