Art gallery invites public to add their own work to the walls
An art gallery in Edinburgh is inviting the public to add their own work to the walls.
Edinburgh Printmakers, which was the first, open access, print studio in the UK when it was established 57 years ago, is based in a former factory in Castle Mills, Dundee Street, Fountainbridge.
A new event, Castle Mills: Then & Now, Whose Gallery is it Anyway?, will open up the space to aspiring artists who want to put their own artwork on the walls, or curate existing work.
Children and young people will have an opportunity to see their creations displayed digitally in an exhibition at one of Scotland’s national galleries.
The 2025 Worcester 100 Open Art Exhibition will be held at the Artery Gallery, Croft Walk, from Saturday 8 to Saturday, March 15.
The free event will showcase a range of artistic styles, including paintings, prints, photography, and sculptures.
Opening times will vary throughout the week.

Three in five small UK museums and galleries fear closure amid declining revenue, new research suggests
Three in five small museums and galleries in the UK fear closure amid declining revenue and footfall, research published this week suggests. The survey of 40 small, independent attractions—those with fewer than 100,000 annual visitors—also found that four in five (78%) reported the current period as the most challenging the sector has faced, while over half (58%) said overall income has not returned to its pre-Covid levels.
The research, conducted by the cloud platform GoDaddy in partnership with the charity Kids in Museums, surveyed small museums as well as galleries, historic buildings and heritage sites. Alison Bowyers, the executive director of Kids in Museums, tells The Art Newspaper that UK museums are suffering more than their counterparts in mainland Europe.
