Art Walk Projects is an artist-led organisation working collaboratively with artists, communities & audiences to create social place-centred projects & residencies based around Portobello and Edinburgh’s north eastern coast. We produce and deliver an annual contemporary arts festival ‘Art Walk Porty’ that entwines the local with the further afield, concentrated around a series of public realm curated works, and the celebration of the local creative community of Portobello.
A series of ecological public art commissions relating to questions of water, fracture and care in response to the climate crisis.
Marking Art Walk Projects’ continued editorial partnership with MAP Magazine, commissioned writers Dr Isabel Pérez-Ramos, Dr Alycia Pirmohamed, Dr Maria Sledmere create new writing in response to VESSEL.
