Mandy was inspired by the Arbroath Pageant Procession which took place during 1947-2005. A great spectacle and the sound of horses hooves could be heard coming down the high street. If you had a horse you were in the Pageant.

Horses are being made using existing hobby horse paintings from school projects. Patterns specific to community groups and new horses designed by YOU.

Pageant for Gallivants

2 July-8 August 2021

Outdoor arts and heritage trail 2020+1 artist Mandy McIntosh has reimagined and reformatted a people’s procession into an extraordinary multi-location public artwork. Arbroath will host these works and micro-events during July. Pageant for Gallivants is a dispersed, atomised public artwork weaving playful and engaging visual narratives directly into the shop windows and fabric of the town. The audience will become the player processing from point-to-point safely under their own steam, exploring outdoor installations, pop-up micro-events and geo-located audio.
