Europe's first Public Art House opens on Portobello Prom!

This Thursday 27th August at 6pm, as part of Edinburgh Art Festival 'Art Late' programme. Come along and see the recently commissioned Garden Gallery artworks and be part of a mass 'Ribbon Riot' at the old Tides Inn pub, foot of Kings Road.

We'll be based there for the coming year - come visit!

One of the artists, Mike Windle, is looking for video contributions to be included in a large moving portrait of Portobello. Clips can be a short as five seconds long and can come from any source including a mobile phone.

I'll be heading along to this. Probably by taxi but once there I'll be willing to bribe prospective pushers with chocolates...

See you there
