The Arienas Collective Exhibition 2025

Description

We are beyond excited for our first-ever Arienas Collective exhibition!

The exhibition is taking place in Scot-ART Gallery 1 on the 3rd floor of St Margaret’s House, 151 London Road, Edinburgh EH7 6AE from Saturday, 24 - Saturday, 31 May 2025 and is open from 11am-5pm each day. The exhibition is free to enter.

You can find out more about the ‘For love or money?’ Exhibition 2025 theme, who will be exhibiting, and opportunities for meeting our creatives in person on our dedicated Exhibition 2025 page.

We will be exploring how creatives balance making art they love with art they make a living from. The exhibition will feature original artworks alongside live demonstrations, tasters, workshops and talks.

You will find a list of all the Exhibition Talks and Tasters below. The Talks usually last 30 mins, and the Tasters normally last an hour. Check the individual details for more information.

There is a nominal fee of £5 towards the cost of materials payable for the Exhibition Tasters, and spaces are limited. The £5 is also fully redeemable against the purchase of a workshop space (collect your exhibition voucher at the end of your Exhibition Taster).

Meet our creative team in person

We know how much people love to meet exhibiting artists and makers in person, so as well as hosting Talks and Tasters, members of our lovely creative team will be working from the exhibition space throughout the exhibition. You can find out who is available, and when, on our Exhibition 2025 website page here.

How to book a space on an Exhibition Talk or Taster

All our Exhibition Talks and demos are free of charge. However, it would be helpful if you could book so that we have an idea of numbers. You can book your space using the booking links below - just select your choice of Talk or Taster and it will take you to the booking page. If it's already sold out, you can add your name to the waiting list.

Our Exhibition Tasters have limited spaces. To secure your space we suggest booking in advance. Any remaining spaces will be made available to book on the day.

Your booking includes free entry to the exhibition from 11am - 5pm, so you have plenty time to explore the exhibition!

*If you are interested in turning your creative passion into a career, or are considering offering your own creative workshops, the talks marked with an asterisk may be of particular interest to you.

**If you're visiting with children, the tasters marked with two asterisks may be of particular interest.

We will also be running one or two creative workshops to let you discover the full Arienas Collective workshop experience: our focus on the well-being benefits of engaging in a creative activity; supporting you to release your inner creative; and teaching you skills and methods you can continue to do at home. And, of course, to support our creatives to earn a living sharing their creative skills and passions.
