Art at Patriothall

A selling exhibition by professional artists based at Patriothall Studios will take place as part of the Fringe. The show includes a range of artwork – painting, photography, print, ceramics, jewellery, mosaic and tapestry – and is run by studio artists, many with national and international profiles. Patriothall Studios is one of Edinburgh’s longest running studio complexes and incorporates a unique, industrial style, gallery in the centre of Stockbridge. Join artists for their Open Studios event on the final weekend and visit their creative working spaces.

Meet the artists and view their work at @patriothallopenstudios on Instagram.
