The inaugural New Town Art Month will run from 7 to 24 June in 11 venues across Edinburgh’s ‘incredible art quarter’.
The map below shows you who and where they are.
Launched and led by Chloé Nelkin Consulting, NTAM promises paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, ceramics and bronze editions highlighting the work of international and home-grown Scottish artists alongside prodigious emerging talent.
The idea that visiting a gallery can be a healing balm is manifested in Shipping Roots, by Keg de Souza. This is the current exhibition at Inverleith House, Royal Botanic Garden.
From the first moment you enter the building, your nostrils and lungs are filled with the deeply calming aroma of eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is widely used as a natural cold remedy, by decreasing mucus and expanding the bronchi and bronchioles of your lungs.
One of the more intriguing gallery spaces at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe is 13 Claremont Crescent. The home and boutique bed & breakfast of artist Michael Worobec and husband features work on three floors of an elegantly refurbished 1820s townhouse designed by William Burn.
Worobec mixes figurative, abstract and geometric approaches with elements of graphic design – intriguing combinations he often uses to unpick the destructive or enslaving influence of patriarchy.
This is interesting: the Ingleby Gallery’s virtual viewing room, part of its Instalments series, in which local artist Jessica Harrison describes the thoughts and techniques behind her transformations of found objects.
In this installation, the reworked pieces form two separate series; one playing with Bone China Figures of women, the other with classical statues as pictured and supposedly available in Online Shopping.
Christopher Spencer’s exhibition at the Out of the Blue Drill Hall has been extended till Thursday – sustained, it seems, by an inexhaustible font of outrage.
You, Me & Cold War Steve (The International Exhibition of the People) brings together three years’ scorn (2019–21) in the form of 50 artfully manipulated photomontages.
Spencer’s style draws on Hieronymus Bosch’s eye for infernal detail, and the exuberant savagery of Hogarth and Gillivray.
Inverleith House in the Botanic Gardens has secured funding to deliver a three-year programme of multidisciplinary engagement between artists and ecology scientists.
In partnership with the Serpentine Galleries in London, the gallery will be called Climate House, and offer a transformative, transdisciplinary space ‘welcoming the broadest possible audience to challenge the Climate Crisis’.
