Art Walk Porty is a huge programme of exhibitions, participatory art, live art, books, films, walks and a cycle ride. The main hub is on the High Street in Portobello at number 189 where the hub is open from 11am Thursday to Sunday.
There really is a lot to look for so do pick up a programme at the hub – and we have also embedded it below.
The Art Houses are open this weekend an on 10 to 11 September where you will be welcome to have a look at the work of an artist. There is also a list of these embedded below.
And there is art to look at in shops and cafés which you can read more about here.
