New Art Exhibition: ‘Contemporary Closure’

Edinburgh College Art Students Invite You to Celebrate ‘Contemporary Closure’

Contemporary Art Practice (CAP) HND year 1 students are seeking closure, and you’re all invited to the party with an unforgettable end-of-year exhibition of their work. 

Contemporary Closure is an art exhibition being held at granton:hub (Madelvic House), put together by HND CAP students to celebrate the end of their first year studying at Edinburgh College’s Granton campus. 

Join us on opening night, 31st May from 6pm – 9pm to help us celebrate. You’ll get to see a preview of the work and meet the next wave of contemporary artists over drinks and nibbles. 

The exhibition will then run from June 1st – 6th. Times vary, with the exhibition being open 10am – 4pm over the weekend, then 2pm – 6pm on weekdays.

Contemporary Art Practice student and co-organiser of the event, Bronwen Winter Phoenix, said: “I’m so excited that we’re able to celebrate the end of our first year of CAP in such a great location! Granton is becoming quite an exciting place to be for art at the moment, so it’s fantastic to be a part of that. 

“I hope people will come along to view our work – which is extremely varied as we all have our own different styles and personalities – have a bit of a party, and see what we’ve been up to as CAP students!” 

About the exhibition: 

What makes closure contemporary? When it’s put together by a motley crew of contemporary art students, of course!

Join us, Edinburgh College’s HND year 1 Contemporary Art Practice students for our end-of-year exhibition, where we’ll celebrate with a party, and a showcase of the recent work we’ve accomplished, on May 31st.

On the night, a few of us will be available to chat about our work and experiences of CAP 1 over drinks and nibbles. The exhibition will then run from June 1st – 6th, 10am – 4pm over the weekend, then 2pm – 6pm on weekdays.
