Artists of Room 13 Lochyside created an installation for a service in St Columbus Cathedral. The piece consisted of nine crosses cut and sanded by hand, painted and finished with gold leaf and stencilled with words relating to the faith. These were unveiled yesterday in a service at St Columbus Cathedral in Oban cathedral to mark the launch of ‘This is Our Faith’, the new syllabus for Catholic religious education in Scotland.

A group of young Artists from Room 13 Lochyside took part in a short residency at the National Galleries of Scotland in June 2008. They returned to their own studio to share the inspiration they had collected, and together with their peers and colleagues around the world, spent 6 months developing work inspired by the work in the collection.
The resulting exhibition of artwork inspired by the National Galleries of Scotland, featuring work from Room 13 Lochyside and Room 13 International Studio Network, was displayed at the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh, from 25th March to 29th April 2009.
