ICONS exhibition at granton:hub

ICONS is an 18+ historical erotica exhibition centred around mythology, cultism and the human body. Inspired by the life of Sir William Peck, the exhibit will take place in his genuine historical cult meeting house that entertained the golden dawn religion.

Hosted by Ethyn Haynes, an Edinburgh based artist inspired by historical technique, will showcase not only his artwork but also the work of Rachel Cornwall and Bronwen Winter Phoenix.

The pieces will be up for sale along with signed prints and other goodies.

The exhibition runs from Saturday the 28th until Sunday the 29th, 11am till 4pm.

Tomorrow: Granton Heritage Walk and National Galleries of Scotland combi-visit

SATURDAY 21 SEPTEMBER 11.30am – 2.30pm

📣Next weekend!

From medieval times through the industrial age and into the future, this mini tour highlights Granton’s heritage.

Spanning quarrying to castles and electric cars, Granton has been at the forefront of bringing innovation and wealth to Edinburgh. While most of its industries have now vanished, we hope to keep its heritage alive in describing what was once a hive of activity.

Participants will also visit the National Galleries repository as part of Doors Open Day and explore the theme of ‘Routes, Networks and Connections’.

The outdoor walk will commence at 11.30am at Madelvic House and will end at 13.00pm at the National Galleries of Scotland’s Granton repository (the Art Centre). Participants will then visit the indoor heritage exhibition provided by granton:hub’s history group, followed by the indoor artworks visit which will start at 13:15pm.

Please note: this tour includes 2 visits, between 11.30-13.00 and 13.15 -14.30pm and breaks will be provided. Participants are asked to attend both events.

This walk is in collaboration with the National Galleries Scotland 2024 Doors Open Day.

Please arrive at granton:hub at around 11.25am, before the start of the tour.
