Why not take a break from the festival crowds and head down to the beach

Monday, 14 July 2008 17:55 Duncan Bremner & Amber Roome

"For anyone who will be in Edinburgh over the summer why not take a break from the festival crowds and head down to the beach…"

As part of the Big Things on the Beach, Portobello's public art initiative, Amber Roome Contemporary Art has selected an exciting group of artists for the Garden Gallery exhibition.

Listed on the left under on "Garden Gallery" is information about the artists, their practice and the work to be included in the exhibition. Their is also a map of the exhibition.

For a first chance to see the exhibition, why not come along to the launch on Saturday 2 August at 2pm. We will be gathering on the Promenade, near the Cake Stand, at the bottom of Marlborough Street.

This will also be the official launch of the Power of Three selected commissions by the Big Things on the Beach Public Art Course.

The afternoon will also include Entertainment, Performance Artwork and Guided Tours of the exhibitions.

Artwork will also be appearing in a variety of other venues, with one-off events taking place in public and private spaces. Artists will be exploring the relationships in the environment on and around Edinburgh's wonderful city beach.
