The Caledonian Edinburgh is inviting Scottish artists and designers to submit entries for a unique art installation in their newly refurbished food & drinks destination, The Court.
The selected artist will receive a £10,000 commission to create a hero piece that will become a focal point of this iconic space.
About The Court:
Blending vintage luxury with mid-century design, The Court is a vibrant social hub celebrating artistry, culture, and music. The space features a grand cocktail bar, exceptional all-day dining, a patisserie, lounge and also a live music stage.
Brief
While the hotel’s rich history is acknowledged, we encourage artists to think beyond heritage and rail travel themes, creating a unique and engaging work that complements the newly re-imagined space’s energy and atmosphere. Visual excellence, storytelling, conceptual thinking, technical craftsmanship, subject depth, and understanding will be several of the aspects that the judging panel will take into consideration when successfully awarding the commission.
Entries should fit within a wall space of 8200 cm (w) x 3600cm (h), with one piece of art or a series of pieces.
Submission Details:
- Entry Period: Open until 31st March 2025
- Eligibility: Open to all Scottish artists (entry is free)
- Selection Process: Reviewed by The Caledonian Edinburgh’s Ownership and Leadership Team
Artists are invited to visit and view The Court and seek inspiration and insight to their piece.
To submit an entry for the competition, artists can send their proposal, chosen media, length of commission required, and samples of their previous work to marketing@edinburghcaledonian.com and this will be shared with our Team for review.
