Members of a long-standing art institute in Paisley claim they are being forced out of the council’s £45 million upgraded museum.
Those involved with the Paisley Art Institute (PAI) – which has been managing Renfrewshire’s largest collection of paintings and sculptures for 147 years – have called out OneRen, Renfrewshire Council’s leisure arm, for “destroying” the fine art organisation by taking away a large part of their exhibition space.
Current members claim the council is erasing a past agreement made between the PAI and the council by much reducing the fine art offering at the new site.
