Young Muirhouse artists show a lot of bottle!

Zoo Arts, a creative  project led by artist Alice Betts based at North Edinburgh Arts, will be installing  another piece of exciting contemporary public art in Muirhouse Shopping Centre  on Wednesday (15 May) at 5pm.  

Light will shine  through recycled plastic bottles filled with coloured water turning a grey space  into a playful symphony of colour. This eyecatching piece of work has been  created by local young people who have participated in creative  outreach sessions supported by Muirhouse Library and Muirhouse Youth  Development Group. 

Zoo Arts aims to  encourage and support young people to develop their contemporary art skills,  install temporary public art and undertake professional art commissions. The  project works with local young people (9 – 14 years) who have an interest in  visual art and are keen to develop their creativity. This project hopes to  inspire future creative collaborations, locally and city-wide.
