Since it's inauguration in January 2000 Primera has grown rapidly in membership and prestige. The society has gained a reputation for quality contemporary paintings and sculpture. Primera welcomes painters and sculptors from throughout the world to join us in our venture to develop an international society of visual artists and art lovers. Primera has generated excitement attracting respected Scottish artists together with our first European artists. Primera Management Council is entirely voluntary made up of practicing artists, painters and sculptors together with Associate members. The Council enjoy having the opportunity to create this exciting new focus for contemporary art. They wish to thank East Renfrewshire council for the tremendous support they have been given.
