Explore newly commissioned artworks by Scottish artists, join behind-the-scenes tours, shop with local makers, sample Edinburgh’s new Cafe Calton, and enjoy creative play sessions for children. The day will culminate in a celebratory procession inspired by Gala traditions – led by artists Seamus Killick and Quinie.
Following the procession will be a live music performance by Scottish artist and performer Quinie, also known as Josie Vallely. Quinie’s multi-disciplinary practice blends folk traditions, walking, song, storytelling and visual art to explore Scots language, memory, land and belonging.
For Collective Gala, Quinie explores how we celebrate our local communities through our remembered and imagined traditions. She will unveil an artwork inspired by the panoramic view from Calton Hill, collaging together the Gala traditions of the towns and communities seen from the top of the hill.
The event is free and drop-in. Please keep an eye on our social media and website for the full schedule. All activities will be bookable on the day.
