New Edinburgh arts centre to offer opportunity to local artists

A new community arts centre in the Craigmillar area of Edinburgh will be based in a 19th century Gothic church.

A partnership with the diocese of Edinburgh will mean the new Centre, known as Craigmillar Now, will be able to support contemporary local artists and their work, and present a programme of residencies, workshops, exhibitions and events. Residents in the area are helping to develop a local archive and the venue will also provide a home for this.
