"A Scottish gallery is giving art lovers and artists alike a blank canvas to
create their own dynamic, ever-changing exhibition by inviting them to hang
work on its walls – or even remove it altogether.

Running until 30 June, Edinburgh Printmakers’ Castle Mills: Then & Now – Whose
Gallery is it Anyway?
 is giving free rein to visitors to act as both artists
and curators, allowing them to add their own pieces to its main exhibition
space, move exhibits around, or take them off display.

Staff are on hand to help place works on the walls, and to demystify the art of
curation by giving insight and advice about the role.

The open call encourages artistic expression across the board, from printmaking
to textiles and even performance. Community groups, local schools and
individuals are getting involved and the project is proving such a hit that the
gallery has had to restrict the number of works people can put on display to
one large exhibit or two smaller pieces."

Share and enjoy,
