Edinburgh Sculpture Workshops plays a vital role in community art

Carving A Niche In The City's Art Scene

WHAT started in 1986 in a draughty old railway shed has blossomed into a £7million state-of-the-art facility in Newhaven, Leith.

Edinburgh Sculpture Workshops support, nurture and inspire artists working in every form of visual art.

With 26 studios, two project spaces and specialised workshops, the centre can host 30-40 artists on a permanent basis. There are also two apartments on site so artists from all over the UK and beyond can stay onsite.

“We support artists at all stages from the graduate to the established, enabling them to build sustainable careers,” says research curator Dan Brown. “Artists, especially recent graduates, are often in a difficult financial position so we fundraise to offer subsidised access to these spaces, training and equipment.
