National Collecting Scheme for Scotland Commissions
	The six partner museums involved in the NCSS commissioned two new works for their collections from Scottish-based artists and makers, through additional National Lottery funding from the Scottish Arts Council. The NCSS museums collaborated to commission Glasgow-based artists Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan to create a substantial and ambitious new work of art for Scotland. Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museum invited silversmith John Creed to undertake a commission for their esteemed craft collection. For further information click here
