Edinburgh Printmakers Culture Conversations
As part of our current interactive exhibition Whose Gallery Is It Anyway? we are hosting a series of panel conversation with invited expert speakers, to dwell more into the question raised with this project.
Join us four Thursdays between May and June at 6.30-8pm to discuss the role of open-access printmaking spaces; speculate on the future of culture in the historically industrial Fountainbridge area; consider how the relationship between curators, artists and audience is changing and forging new opportunities; what purpose do museums have today and what commitments can they make to their communities.
These events are ticketed and will take place in person at Castle Mills in our main Gallery, as well as online. The link to the event will be sent to attendees the day before each panel.
Please check our website for full details on each evening conversation and invited speakers.
