- Brief Description
- a self-funding arts charity with 120 artists' studio spaces and 11 000 sq ft of gallery space.
- Profile
Opened in august 2008, art’s complex is a self-funding charitable organisation based in Saint Margaret’s House, 151 London Road, Edinburgh. Our main aim is to try to redress part of the imbalance in the working artist/affordable space ratio that exists in the city.
Our mid to long term objective is to reach out specifically to the surrounding community through arts education and participatory projects. We hope to enhance this aim by inviting culturally diverse projects and artists to show/discuss their work in art’s complex.
We have approximately 70 000 sq ft of useable space. On completion of phase one of the art’s complex project, we will accommodate 120 individual studio spaces, 11 000 square feet gallery/event space and an equivalent 11 000 square feet of available community education/art therapy space.
We are soon to open a printmaking workshop with dark room and a theatre school.
- Events
art’s complex has 2 galleries for the public showing of artwork, with a third to be developed in the near future. The three galleries are designed in various sizes in order to complement one another and to accommodate work of varying magnitudes.
Gallery 1 is 5500 sq ft [511 sq m] in area and is mostly suited for group shows or for larger bodies of work.
Gallery 2 is 3100 sq ft [288 sq m] which is suited for smaller group shows or large individual exhibitions.
When completed, Gallery 3 will be 796 sq ft [75 sq m], to be a smaller, project, space designed to host smaller individual exhibitions suitable for students and recent graduates.
