To Me It's Home

I hope you will be able to join us here at North Edinburgh Arts on the evening of Wednesday 20 April at 7pm to enjoy the premiere of ‘To Me it’s Home; Reflections on a Community’.

Made by Angelica Kroeger, this short film features many members of our community.

Funded by Urban Union, as part of the Arts Strategy led by NEA, the film is one of the first artworks created by this ongoing programme. It endeavours to capture a lyrical snapshot our community in a time of change. The film lasts just over ten minutes and we will be serving refreshments in the café afterwards.

 Zoo Arts Exhibition opens at North Edinburgh Arts

the opening

Zoo Arts has been exploring the themes of portraiture, the face and masks over the last eight weeks (writes Kirsty Reynolds).

We’ve manipulated, embellished and transformed our faces in our weekly sessions, using them as a base for self expression and character creation. This exhibition is a showcase of some of our experiments involving the face and how we have played with altering it using drawing, collage, costume and photography.

Artists involved in the project are:

Patrick Harvey             Filip Glanowski             Jenny Souter

Aidan Wrubel               Antek Krzos                  Lauren Davis

Caedon Bentino          Amber Walker              Graham Wark

Kitty Yang                     Claire Graham             Sally Price

Jakey Yang                  Anne Chen                   Kirsty Reynolds

Zoo Arts is a weekly art group that welcomes anyone between age 9 -14 on Wednesdays from 4pm-5.30pm at North Edinburgh Arts. Join us!

The exhibition runs until Saturday 23rd April
