We Call Ourselves the Weirdos!

 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

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. 

For more information  go to  www.northedinburgharts.co.uk or to dicuss the project further contact Angela Austin on 315 2151, email marketing@northedinburgharts.co.uk
